blithe and jeans

ever since i saw this

on Kim Hargreaves webpage, i wanted to knit this little something! it's truly my style. speaks to me in this hard to resist manner. stays at the back of my mind when i buy yarn or choose projects. (no, i could not and did not want to buy the kit from HK website; oh no, not for something this simple)


the yarn is a jeans-style cotton. i'm knitting with a jeans-y yarn for the first time, and must say, the hands are dirty but the effect will (hopefully) be rewarding. i am seeing something casual and practical and easily matching with anythig - a little top equivalent of dark blue jeans... (it wouldn't be bad to knit something practical once in a while.)
