1. My current Main project is the Sunny Cables and Crowns Blanket. It's a bright yellow number from Our Best Knit Afghans (which the other three blankets I have posted have been from). I am knitting it for The Lowell Wish Project. I decided to knit it using Lion Brand's Pound of Love, as I wouldn't have to worry about adding on new skeins of yarn. This turned out to be a less than good idea as the cables don't show up very well. I'm hoping in vain that it might turn out nicer after it's been washed. Still, it feels great to be able to do cables again. I don't know what it is about adding that extra needle that makes things so much fun. Anyway, I'm trying to devote an hour or two to it a day because it's taking A LONG time to knit. Today was a bust, as certain stressful situations caused me to only concentrate on knitting for about a half hour.
2. My projects on hold are the baby hat I posted in the last entry (the pink and blue one, I'm renaming it The Cotton Candy Hat). Why is this on hold when it's practically done? See, I made a trip to NYC a little while ago and somehow in transit, I lost one of my DPNs. Now I'm going to have to purchase a whole set of new ones, which makes me grumpy.
I have also started a Log Cabin Blanket. It's not much so far, but once I finish the baby blanket, I hope to buy some new yarn for it at add on to it. I'm using Lion Brand Cotton Ease, because I like the washable aspect of the yarn. This will be the first blanket that I've knit for myself and I want the sucker to be big. As big as looks appropriate. I'm going to need something to keep me warm this winter. But I have a feeling this won't be finished any time soon. And why is that?
3. Because of my future projects. I hope to knit for a few people this Christmas (probably just my long time friends). Also, I signed up for Secret of the Stole. I know that it's probably way too complex for little me but I've been oohing and aahing over The Mystery Stole 3 for weeks now. I want to join in on the fun!
