Here is my dissertation proposal for T2:

Rav handle:  akarateka

Team:   Bite Me

Pattern:   Corona


Yarn:  Plymouth Galway


Summary:

Submitting a dissertation on Corona by Canary Sanctuary.  Pam on True Blood is inimical and thus fascinating.  On the show, most of her wardrobe is very tight and sexy.  However in the Sookie books, Pam is much more conservative and wears muted colors like pink.  Occasionally, she does wear pink on True Blood (attach picture).   This picture captures her in a  pink sweater with cables which is rare from my not recent watching of the show.


My project is a compromise.  It is the standard stereotypical red which attracts the attention of other vampires but it is just curvy enough to be sexy but it has a cabled collar. 

Category.

This project will take me three months as I have never knitted sleeves, a collar, nor a  hood. My skill level is Advanced Beginner.  Hence it is being placed in the Technical Category.   The collar will be the slow portion as much counting is required to get the sequences right .



Time Justification:

See Category. In addition,  my jobs take over 50 hours a week.  Plus I have an old home to maintain, a garden,a grandson to visit  plus keep up (karate) training .

Swatch:

The only gauge specified in the pattern is 5 stitches to one inch of stockinette  which I made with a size 7 needle which I get with Plymouth Galway worsted wool.
