I have the time to blog, I just don't. I think about it, then realize the pictures I would take won't be all that different than the last ones I posted. So I get lazy, and knit instead.

I am to the point of yoking on the cardigan, I have never done a yoked item before sort of fun, or it makes you seem like you have made far more progress than you really have early on. Also it makes it difficult to take pictures as well. I really love this yarn, wonderful to work with as well. I have done about 8 rows after getting it all setup for yoking. Hopefully this part will go fast.

I am also on a race to finish a new project, how quickly do you all think I can finish Seraphim? My grandmother is in the hospital and everyone else is sending flowers and such to cheer her up, but I wanted to do something else, and she is complaining to be cold a lot. So I started a shawl for her, and want to get it done soon!! I am using a 50% alpaca/50% Wool blend I picked up at WEBS last year, so it is pretty warm, I should have thought this through a little bit before starting, this would be a great fall/winter shawl for her and being it is spring I probably should have started something a bit lighter, which I have something in mind to make her a second one. But I already started this one, and don't really have a nice, not to silky yarn to make the second one just yet. I am one ball in, and really liking the look and feel of this yarn, just worried it will be to warm by the time it is done.

The second one I am thinking might be out of this stuff Socks that Rock, Seduction, oh so pretty. I have one hank now and love it, not enough for the shawl though, expensive but my Grandma is worth it. I might have to make another STR order soon, anyone else in?

I have been stuck in a quick knit, no focus stage for some time now. I don't feel like I have accomplished much since Starsky was finished. Looking back I think I was just not really excited to be working on anything, new or old. But I have new motivation, new yarn to me at least and a fun pattern. This was all by accident, I was at the store over this past weekend, working on a scarf Friday and a sock (I never knit socks) on Saturday. Then a certain someone was looking at the new Classic Elite books and yarns at said store. I was casually looking over her shoulder, then I started telling her to go back a page, forward a page, before you know it I am buying yummy yarn to make a sweater. Wanna see!!! It is called the Summer Set Rib Yoke Cardigan of course I couldn't follow the pattern completely so I am using the Classic Silk in colorway Paris Green (the light green in the middle). I am loving this yarn and this pattern, I am finished with the back, well up to where I do all the yokey stuff. Wanna really see?

I have also been working on a Socks that Rock sock (in Roctoberfest), Monkey from the last knitty, trying to do it toe up and see if the pattern looks ok from that angle. Also working on my Vintage Velvet Scarf, I really love this scarf and wish it would just knit itself.

Not much else going on around here, working at home, trying to not turn into a hermit. I will say working at home helps me workout a ton more, I am going to finish the Runagogo challenge of a 100 miles before 4-1. So it will then be time to work on a new goal a more challenging goal.
