Seriously.....

How many projects can one person work on at once??? And still accomplish anything?

Earnshaw Revised is actually progressing quite well. It's so big I can't fit it all in the picture frame. Well if I'd wanted to stand on a chair I probably could have.

It's also big enough that it no longer qualifies as take-along knitting. About 2-3 more inches and sleeve number one is done.

Obi is also progressing nicely, although I am having some gauge issues. My swatch was *perfect*, but the full size front is a little too small both stitch and row wise. I'm not so worried about the stitch gauge as this thing is so big (93" around) that it WILL fit. I may have to make adjustments with sleeve length though.

My bigger concern is row gauge becuase of the stripes. I could just knit one more stripe but I think it will throw off the symetry of starting and ending with the same color. I think when I finish this piece I will see how much addtional length I can get from blocking.

FO!

And I have a finished object to present. Well almost finished... to be 100% truthful it still need buttons. Know what it is?

It is the beautiful Elizabeth scarf/collar desgined by Kate Gilbert. I made mine in a combination of angora and alpaca for extra yummy softness. Only took about 4 hours to make and I LOVE IT!

New Stuff

Would I be me if I didn't have new started projects to report?

First there is the Magic Moebius scarf from Cat Bordhi's ingenious mind.

For those who have looked over the instructions in the book and wondered.. YES, you REALLY DO need very long circulars to make one of these scarves. Mine is 60 inches and just right.

And this fuzzy pictures is going to be felted tote. It's the Blue Hawaii bag from Eva Weichmanns fun book "Pursenalities".

And I started Rogue. I've always thought it was an attractive pattern but I had no desire to make it. Until this week. I have no idea what came over me but I suddenly HAD TO MAKE ROGUE. I've swatched and the Reynolds Turnberry Tweed in my stash gives me perfect gauge on size 7 needles. I have two rows done on the first sleeve so no pictures yet.

On the Road Again...

Yep, it's been over a month and the doggies are restless. We head out for a 4 day show in Amarillo tomorrow morning. This time it's just Kelly and Babe. Kelly is looking for that last point that will make her a champion and Babe is going to show in another puppy match.

Wish us all luck and good driving weather!
