Settling In

I've settled into the sweater with the cable braid that I mentioned last post. I wish I could post a picture right now so you can see the adorable little stripes and the beautiful cable, but alas, I am still camera-less. I love the silky tweed yarn and the way the red and grey compliment each other so well. I'll be visiting my SO next weekend and I'll take it with me to get some pictures. I'll try to remember to take the Aran Pocket(less) Shawl too so you can see that. It'll be a knitting fashion show! :-)

My movie-going scarf continues to grow. I need to carry a bigger purse now so it doesn't spill all over the place when I go to the movies. Ah well. I'm also experimenting with some self-striping sock yarn that was a gift from a friend. So far I haven't fallen in love with anything yet, but its fun to try.

Seems like everyone I (or my SO) knows is getting pregnant recently. I've been searching for baby things to knit like crazy! Do any of you who are parents have suggestions for what would be most useful? The babies are due in Jan/Feb.

This sweater was originally supposed to be a Christmas gift for my aunt, but I guessed wrong on the size and had gauge issues so it became a sweater for me. That's what I get for trying to surprise someone with a sweater and not taking time to do some math. Ah well.

I finished the aran pocket shawl (sans pockets), but I haven't taken pictures yet.

Other knitting goes on with ever more project ADD. I get excited about things and then give up when the project proves too difficult (or too simple) for my attention level. I have a colorful fuzzy ribbon yarn scarf that goes to the movies with me. I have a sock that attends my meetings. I have a complex cable braid band for a sweater that occupies my evenings. I never lack for yarny companionship! Of course, Ravelry also reminds me of the lace scarf, librarian cardigan, entrelac socks, and furry mohair shawlette that I haven't touched in months.

Ah well. Keep the stitches coming!
