Yesterday this was my view. I have a lot of progress to report on my long list of cast-on-itis works-in-progress this week, thanks to four days of knitting at the beach, and the five-hour car ride (one way) it took us to get there.
The minion is growing! The holes are where the arms will be picked up and knitted. I need to add stuffing before I continue decreasing to finish the overalls/legs section. After I make the limbs I'll finish the overalls with duplicate stitch ... gulp... hope it turns out okay!
And more progress on my Montague Bulky Lace Vest! This project got the least amount of time on the trip, but I am having so much fun with it and this colorway. I need to find a way to capture the depth of this yarn's color ... you can't see the purples and variations in the blue in these pictures. It's a gorgeous, complex dye job!
Perhaps the most progress was in what is not pictured:
- Two cute animal squares for a friend's baby blanket ... one DONE, one nearly there!
- One more secret swap partner project ... DONE!
- A Five Easy Cables blanket for the big boy room in hunter's orange Caron Simply Soft ...
- Dancing Bamboo socks in MadTosh Sock in the Jade colorway ....
- A swiss cheese scarf using a Zauberball Lace Ball ....

The minion knit looks fun. I had to follow the link. Almost wish my children were into them, then I could knit one! I love the cable pattern of your vest and the colour of the yarn looks beautiful.
we just got back from the beach, too!!! nothing better than ocean and knitting!!!!!!!!!!!!! lovely projects.....really love that deep purple!
Is the purple yarn Malabrigo? It has that wonderful texture that company is known for. Gosh you've been a busy knitter! Those beach photos are relaxing just to look at.
Yup! It's Malabrigo Mecha, a superwash!
It's totally beach season, isn't it? :-D
