Well, I finished up the Not-Cashmere Pullover..

…as well as the Lotech sweat – you can’t really see, but there’s reverse st st front bands. I’ll pick up a zipper tomorrow and hopefully put it in, and then it’ll really be done.

Both are now in the washing machine and will be machine dried (at least partially) as well – modelled pictures tomorrow, I hope!

Now I can get to some new projects! I believe the Corset Pullover will be up next, as well as perhaps a t-shirt out of Elann Esprit for the stockinette project. I think I’ll work on Cozy, too.

The Lotech sweat is allllmost done!

I’ve done up all the raglan seams, and I think I’ll do the sleeve and side seams tonight as well – then I need to do the front bands and the collar. I think I’m going to put in a zipper, and do a simple rolled collar.

Aaaaand, the red and black sweater is finally done!

Modelled shots tomorrow!

So now that two projects have been completed (or almost), I’m starting to think of shiny new projects. BUT, then I remind myself that I’ve still got other projects to do! So I’m going to aim to finish those first, before I start anything else. I kind of want to start a tank top or otherwise summery top, but that’s a whole season away – it’s not even spring yet! So I honestly don’t know what I’m going to be knitting next. Possibly a scrappy blue wrap, maybe nothin’ but a shirt…I really do want to use some Calmer for that. Maybe I ought to hit the 30% off sale at the Yarn Boutique!

That or order some from eBay…

I’ve been awfully hyper today. And I haven’t taken anything, or even had a coffee, honest. :) Maybe it was saying I was going to finish an assignment tonight (due Wednesday) and actually finishing it! Yippee!

Ahem. I’m really, really close to being done the red and black sweater. I’ve got about 5 inches to go on each sleeve, but they’re just straight stockinette and then ribbing on less than 50 stitches, so I might even get it done tonight. Then I gotta get around to weaving in the ends and everything…I’m hoping to wear it to SnB on Wednesday, but I don’t know if I’ll get around to washing it (and having it be dry) by then. Perhaps just a light blocking rather than a washing.

I’ve decided to start the Monk’s travel satchel, out of Naturelle 8/8. I’m going to work at a tight gauge, and machine wash and dry the pieces before I sew up so that they’ll be maximally dense. Plus it’s something I can always take to work on during classes – 74″ of seed stitch, here I come.

Oh, I finally got around to aligning my banner with the rest of the page so it looks a little better. Changed some font colours and such while I was at it, but I’m still not sure. Things might change around here still.
