Projects Galore

Well even though I've been absent for awhile during tax season, and now trying to get into the groove of regular hours and my Fridays & weekends off; I have been knitting almost every day. Here's what's off the needles (finally) and still in progress...

Yarn: Plymouth Yarn - Mushishi (95% wool, 5% silk)
Needles - Size 10

In March, my LYS, The Black Purl, had a Knit Along with this yarn in the Traveling Woman shawl pattern.
I made this to keep my shoulders warm while knitting at night. It was a fun lace pattern and I would enjoy doing this one again. In fact, I bought another skein (blue-green color) to make one for my neighbor next Christmas.

I started Acer sweater after seeing that the Yarn Harlot was making one, and fell in love with the cables. I'll be working on this throughout the summer months and hopefully complete it by fall.

Yarn: Sublime Organic Merino Wool DK - A VERY soft and easy to work with yarn; love how the cables pop with this.

.... and last, but not least,

I'm making the sweater pictured on the cover - Early Girl.
Yarn: Classic Elite "Cricket" (60% cotton, 40% linen)

This is proving to be a fun and fast lace pattern. I have about 9" of the back done, but now that daylight is being uncooperative, I can't get a decent photo of it.

I hope you enjoyed the slideshow.

Knit on...

I will bet that it won't be Greg's LAST pair of socks. Once I knit one pair for Steve, he wanted more.

Funny thing is --- until he had his own he didn't get the hand-knit sock thing. He thought they were just socks LOL
