Good Beer Week is an annual even that happens in Melbourne in mid-May, and it starts tonight! Of course, it is not just a week - it includes the weekends either side, so it's more like "Good Beer ten days". And it's not just about beer - it's about beer and food and friends. This year we are booked to go to a beer and cheese tasting, and a vegan beer and food thing, and I think we'll be meeting friends on four days to explore "Pint of Origin" pubs. So, lots of lovely food, delicious beer and knitting time.
In previous years I have knit garter shawls, socks, Boxy. This year I planned my GBW knitting months ago - I was going to make Quicksilver. For reasons that escape me now, maybe over enthusiasm? I knit that shawl a couple of months ago. Then I was going to knit the Still Light Tunic - I bought the yarn, swatched and everything.
But then the opportunity to test knit the Treetops came up, and it's perfect. I've done the "complicated" set up, and now I'm knitting down the body, in the round. It's got a simple lace panel, that is intuitive, the yarn is light enough that, even in mood lit venues I can see, and it's a pleasure to knit on. Tune in next Sunday for my Good Beer Week wrap up, and progress report on this jumper.
