What I'm Working On

Jim mentioned to me yesterday that I haven't updated my blog for three weeks.  I checked.  It hasn't been that long but it's been over a week so I thought I'd share what I've been working on lately.

We started a KAL (knit-a-long) at the shop at the end of May.  We are knitting Eadon by Susanna IC. I am using Cascade 220. I am now referring to this project as death by ribbing.  I have finished the back which is 3 x 2 rib and my fronts are almost done.  They at least have some cabling.  

 I am also working on Fluency Gloves by Sivia Harding.  I plan on wearing these when walking Jake this winter.  The yarn I am using is Soprano by Abstract Fiber in Black Opal which is 50% merino/50% silk.  I bought this yarn when I was at Madrona in 2011 and it is oh so yummy!!

 You prestring 44 beads for these and I like how the beads sit between the purl stitches.

This is on the inside and what happens when you're not paying attention and skip a double point needle while knitting. I debated but  it's been fixed.

My other project which is not knitting related is a soccer t-shirt quilt for Hagen.  When I was in Texas last month I picked up a few more shirts and shorts from him to fill in the blanks.

Now the goal is to finish something.
