They’re finally done and modeled! I officially have zero pairs of socks on the needles, after getting all the way up to 3 pairs (I like to only have a single pair in the works at once).

Pattern:Spot Check Socks from Knitting Socks with Handpainted Yarn
Yarn: Less than 2 skeins of Shibui Knits [...]

I hurried up and finished the Oyster Bay Shawl in my downtime in Florida, purely so I could take FO pictures on the beach. It ended up being pleasantly empty, as there was wind that made it quite uncomfortable, but hey, this was easier than posing in 13 degrees in Boston.

While the FO picture is late, I did finish the Geodesic Cardigan before the Olympic torch was put out.

Pattern: Geodesic Cardigan, Knitscene Winter/Spring 2010
Yarn: 2 skeins of Briar Rose Fibers Sea Pearl

Pattern: Sylvar by Jordana Paige
Yarn: Araucania Nature Wool in 17, less than 4 skeins
Needles: Addi Turbos US 6
Modifications: Body – Continued lace pattern throughout. Moved waist decreases based on try-ons to fit me specifically. Did matching waist increases rather than switching to garter stitch. Ended with just 12 rows of garter stitch [...]

I’m only 2 weeks behind – this is NaKniSweMoDo Sweater #11. Going to have to knit fast for #12! Luckily there’s lots of time at home hanging with the hubby and the dog planned for the later part of this month. Anyway, it was 13 degrees (and windy!) when [...]

I am SO not looking forward to work tomorrow. I’ve been unable to keep up with my other projects while I have been gone doing this project, so tomorrow is going to be a bit rough. The plan is to work a half day to make a dent in getting caught up, and [...]

I’m making progress on the first sleeve:

I have to say, though, I”m really getting worried about my ability to finish this in 11 more days. Why I’m worrying about this when there are so many other things to worry about right now (work, lots of travel, too much to do, omg), but hey, I [...]

Yarn: 8.5 skeins of Debbie Bliss Cotton Angora in 15507
Needles: US 6 Addi Turbos for the ribbing, US 7 for everything else

Date Started: September 16, [...]

1. I’m in FL right now. I didn’t mention that, did i? I’m here until Thursday. It might be a bit rough – potentially interesting work situations.
2. I think I’m light on work updates too – on my main project, I’ve replaced my immediate boss, and am the integrated team [...]
