This sweater, that has been in progress for almost a year, might actually be done in time for the winter:
I'm a bit concerned about the sleeve length. I need to learn that whatever measurement I have for my husband I should just add an inch. I mean, he likes negative ease but this is sort of looking like a child's sweater right now. Hopefully I can block some extra length into the sleeves, this yarn seems to have some give to it. Also I will probably run out of yarn and have to buy more before I can finish up the neckline. Blast!
This hat:
is actually blocking right now. It came out too small for my husband (again! curses! one inch bigger than I think it should be, damn it!)so it's mine. However I have a metric assload of that yarn so I immediately cast on another one for him. I'm learning to cable without a cable needle which is actually wicked easy and works much better for me than the cable needle ever did so I feel good about making two of these. Although the hat kind of makes me look like a boy.
I'm planning to cast on a scarf and a baby blanket soon too. Knitty's Op-Art pattern is really cool, and the black and white will be perfect for some rockers having a boy. The scarf will be for me, and I haven't decided which pattern to use yet. Yay for fall knitting!
