Progress

Here is a little progress on a project I am doing for Renaissance Yarns.......it is Tuvstarr by Elesebeth Lavold, done in her new Bamboucle.  It is lovely to knit with, spongey and like terry cloth.   The pattern itself is easy and moving along quickly.

Tangerine dreams

I've got a couple of new projects on the needles. One is a shell for my LYS, one is finishing up my Noro mini cardigan, and now I've started a little something for my 7 y.o. daughter.  It is rare that I knit for her.  She is fussy about clothes, and attached to a few specific items.  But this pattern in the "Young Rowan" booklet caught my eye.  It's done in Rowan Handknit cotton, and I LOVE the tangerine color!!  It should look great with her Summer tan. Here is the beginning of it.....

Finally....

At long last, the hoodie is done.  It didn't take me all that long to reknit the sleeve, but then I procrastinated sewing it in.  The weather has been HOT here over the weekend, so that makes working with fuzziness less appealing.  Here it is, photos courtesy of my 7 year old daughter, so don't mind the blurriness too much.  Oh, and the toys in the playroom.........

A Good Cause

My LYS is doing a breast cancer awareness charity knitting event.......a group of us are making a square from The Great American Afghan.  Here is the beginning of mine.....
