Anyway, the boys insisted on lights out during the movie so obviously I needed a project that would allow me to watch the movie and knit in the dark. So I cast on for Drive Thru .
I'm not a super speedy knitter but not too bad for a couple of hours of in the dark knitting... the ribbing slowed me down the most as I kept forgetting if I was knitting or purling and trying to figure this out in the dark was a bit tricky. I'm liking the Knit Pick's Swish. It reminds me of Cascade but I think it's a bit softer and squishier. And I'll tell you Drive-Thru restaurants may be quick but I'm making this sweater for less than it costs for our family of 7 to drive-thru a fast food restaurant!

Are you making the cardigan or the crew neck?

For you the hearth fire glows.
So are you making it for you or a child? I love KnitPicks yarns! What inexpensive gratification!
We watched Pirates II last night, but we left the light on because I was knitting a cardigan for my mom and was at the neck decreases. Didn't want to make a mistake and have to pick back. Have you tried the light-up knitting needles? I've used them for movie knitting, but they don't come in circulars, so I always just knit a Mason-Dixon baby-bib on them.
We had a Jack Sparrow movie night in the dark last night too!
We affectionately call it "forced family viewing."!
We did the same thing last night! I wasn't thrilled by the movie, but I'd like to watch it again, when I'm not being sent to make popcorn, feed the baby or change a diaper. Sigh. I'd love to hear how you like the Drive Thru pattern - I'm still debating on it. :0)
I'm making the pullover for my 4 year old son. So far the pattern is very straight forward. I think it will be easy to follow.
