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.032307_003 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?
