Ask, and ye shall receive (to the best of my abilities). Click for big on all the pics.

First up, the 2x2x3x1 Ribby Cardie from Chicknits. Pattern not available anymore.

Done with Lion Brand Cotton Ease that my parents bought in the States, 5 skeins on size 8 and 9 Denise needles and Clover Bamboo dpns. I doubled the size of the front seed stitch band, and altered the collar. It’s comfy!

Now for works in progress: my top-down.

It’s a little darker in real life, but the pic is pretty close. I love the cables – they really pop!

And finally, Bella.

This Pop-up generator is most awesome. Thanks again, Carrie!

Gotta run, lots of things to do today!

Still no pics today. Tomorrow, I promise! It’s boring without pictures, I know…

At any rate, I am now freeeeeee of school for three weeks and 2 days, and I can knit my little fingers off willy-nilly. My cabled top-down is progressing nicely – hmm. I think it needs a name…then colour is a pine-y-blue, and it’s got a cable down the front. Any ideas?

I’ve also started Bella, from White Lies. It’s sooo beautiful and fun. I’ve got maybe 2 inches of the back done, and it seems to be working up pretty fast – even though I’ll be knitting forever with the longer length, it’ll still be fun. I’m using Naturelle 8/8 from elann, in a nice heathery gray, and number 9 Denise needles. I went a little bigger with the needle because a) my number 8 is rather occupied at the moment, being shared between two projects; and b) I want it to end up a little bigger than the 38″ finished size. I did swatch, and I’m getting just a slightly larger gauge, a fraction of a stitch. So that should work out.

I think that’s about it..for now. Hooray for freedom! (not the US brand, not that I mean to offend anyone.)

My sister had a party tonight, and now we’ve got pizza and pasta leftovers for a week!

The Ribby, she is done! I put in the zipper while watching Jamie’s Kitchen (looove him) and a tribute to Julia Child on Food Network Canada. Looks good, if I do say so myself :) I changed the collar and added a bit more to the front bands. More details and pictures forthcoming…

So what’s a girl to do? Cast on for a new project, of course! My next three (major) lined up projects are all sweaters: I cast on for a top down raglan using the Incredible Raglan Generator and Mission Falls wool. Next are Bella and the Must Have Cardigan. I’ll be casting on for Bella this week as well – the top down’s for semi-mindless knitting, Bella for lace. Fun fun!
