Hello! Finally got around to taking a few photos. First a Hank8 update:
Looks kinda like the first sleeve, huh?
Also, here's a pic of the lace shawl I've been working on:
It's coming along. I never seem to learn; with these triangular and circular pieces each row or round takes longer than the last, but I keep doing them anyway. It's pretty slow going at this point.
I had Scott take some pictures of me wearing my new cashmere sweater, but I don't like the way they came out. So I'm not posting them - too bad. Maybe I'll try to take some more tomorrow.
Over the weekend I started Scott's cashmere sweater. He was rather specific about what he wanted and didn't want (I shouldn't have asked! he probably would have been thrilled with whatever I presented him with if I didn't give him a choice), so I'm not working from a pre-existing pattern. After much negotiation, I'm using a cable from the cover sweater of last fall's IK (the one with the two waiters), but with just plain stockinette on the sides and sleeves and back. Sadly for you (ha ha ha), the navy yarn is much too dark for me to photograph well.
I'm trying to motivate to get some design submissions together - I have several ideas for two books and a magazine. But it's just so hard to focus on stuff when I come home from work. I should have worked more yesterday while I had the day off, but I barely scratched the surface. Well, I think I'm free this Saturday....
I'm speechless! What beautiful knitting. Can't wait to see your future FO's.
