Despite lack of blogging, there has been knitting. My current projects include:

Swallowtail Shawl from Interweave Knits: Cherry Tree Hill 100% cashmere on size four needles. I'm up to the eight repeat of the second chart but it is sloooww going. I was further along but dropped a stitch and had to rip back two whole repeats. *sigh* Nothing like ripping back to make me put something down. Like...

Broad Street Mittens from Knitty: I knitted a full size swatch in Moda Dea Sassy Stripes which was huge despite getting guage. Weird. I adusted then cast on in the Curious Creek hand-dyed yarn. Things were going along pretty well until I forgot the four rows between the pinky and the ring finger. Again, I got gauage but these things seem really big. These are for my kiddo and I really need to pick them back-up.

The second sock to a pair: Second sock syndrome. The same pair that have been picutured in this blog months ago.

Mindless Scarf knit on the diagonal with a fuzzy yarn with poor twist. This I will probably finish because it is truly mindless.

There is something funny about tinking the lace though. I didn't know that I had made a mistake until I dreamed about it last night. I thought only seriousl knit bloggers had dreams about their knitting. Maybe I'm ready to play with the big girls?
