Summer Roundup: WIP
Hey, Teach! Such a fun, fast knit! I highly recommend this pattern. I opted to use the pattern's recommended yarn, and I loooved it. It feels so good to knit with recycled yarn! I'm in the process of seaming and picking up stitches to knit the button band.
Grape (aka Cherry) Just cast on, and using Elann.com yarn for the first time (Callista). Great yarn! (and you can't beat Elann.com's prices!!)
Currently stalled ...
Requires too much concentration ...
Lacy Little Top, allhemp3 in Aubergine
Ravel it!
Attempted to add some waist-shaping, and my decreases are looking wonky ...
Petra's Blunder, Nashua Handknits Sassafrass
Ravel it!
Finished, seamed ... waaay too big.
Lime Mondo Cable, Lion Brand Cotton Ease
Ravel it!

Summer Roundup: FOs
resurfacing
Summer vanished on me. Here are some highlights ...
I left my heart in Chicago.
Chicago skyline at night.
The famous sky-cloud sculpture (aka the bean).
Such amazing juxtapositions of old and new architecture.
Great art. Phenomenal art museum.
St. Louis Cathedral
Mmmm ... beignets. Powdered sugar, anyone?
Bourbon Street
Both trips were waaaaay too short. I'd go back to both cities in a heartbeat--so much I didn't have a chance to explore!

New Orleans captured my heart, too.
