That's a weekend's worth of work. (not including time at the beer festival)

I removed the provisional cast-on and turned the hem under, and am working through the torso.

I've already made a huge error (crossed cables the wrong way at the hem) but I'm not pulling it out. I can always make another if it bothers me. I'm already considering making a cardigan version after this.

(Jeez the colors are off on this photo - it's dark brown natural wool, not purple. Oh well.)

I've finally broken down and bought the Rogue pattern.

This is a morning commute's worth - basically the provisional cast-on and the start of the hem facing.

The wool is from Stannard Farm; they have a booth at our weekly greenmarket. It's some sort of naturally brown Romney X Border Leicester, I think.

Well, I finished, and it was harmless. I thought it was going to be smaller (I used one size smaller needles, simply because I was too lazy to look for the proper size) but upon a quick blocking, it looks like it will be pretty big once I finally do block it properly.

On to the next project - whatever that may be.

It's getting there. I may finish this weekend.

I should be done by early next week. Just the lace border left.

It's been a week and so far I'm cruising right along.






day two
day three
day four


I think I can finish the body today and start working on the edgings.

Well, with the advent of spring, I figured I'd try to make friends with the hated Spring Cashmere Lace Shawl again. I'm finally trying it in cashmere. This is day one. It seems to be going okay. I hate that I hate a pattern. I shouldn't have any sort of valence for inanimate objects.
