Current Projects
What's on my needles now? I usually have several projects going at once. I used to be a strictly one-project-at-a-time girl, but a certain Honeymoon Cami involved a heck of a lot of stickinette, and I got bored. (Sorry Julia!) It was my first time knitting an item of clothing (not accessory) and it was . . . really big. That's okay. I learned lots of lessons with that project. But that's another post.
Current knitting:
1. The Never-Ending Sweater. This is the Men's Zipped Raglan from Last Minute Knitted Gifts. It is temporarily on hold while I wait for more yarn to come from oh-so-helpful Kennita at Wildflower Yarns.
2. The Copper Scarf. This is one of several scarves I am knitting for sale at a Springfield store that carries work by several local artists, Art and Souls.
3. The Fake-Cabled Socks. Actually these are from a free pattern I got from the internet with the intention of teaching myself to do short row heels. It's not going so well. I really need to find a knitting buddy here in Springfield that can show me all these tricky techniques.
4. The Fat Cables Scarf. Another scarf for sale. All of the scarves I'm making for Art & Souls are made out of delicious 100% merino from handpaintedyarn.com. I admit it was a little sketchy ordering from their site, and it took longer to ship than most yarn orders I've placed, but it was worth it. Great prices and beautiful colors. I'll devote a whole post to it (and its home, the yarn closet) sometime soon.
Okay, I promise: photos of all these projects soon!
