First, I want to post a picture that was taken by Jamie Tan, the Events Coordinator at Brookline Booksmith at the reading by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee.
All the knitters are holding up their knitting, right before SP-McP came on to speak. I can actually see myself in the picture, holding up the Scarf That Never Ends. What a great night that was!
While I have many more than just two projects on the needles, right now I am concentrating on only two, the Cable Shawl for Adrienne, and Cilla's Honey Cowl. Seen below, is he Cable Shawl:
I have just begun the fifth skein (of six) and it is about 48 inches long. It will be wider when blocked, and I'm really happy with the way it's turning out.
The other thing I have on the needles that is taking my attention is:
This is the Honey Cowl I'm making for my friend Cilla. The yarn is Tosh DK, the colourway is Cove.
I've picked this up and put it down, and it goes slowly. I can get about four rows done in an hour, for all that it's 220 stitches. But I like it, and plan to make a few more of these.
My plan tonight is to go to my LYS and cast on the Infinite Sweater (I'm calling it that because the recipient is 6'5", and I'll be knitting stockinette for many rows). There is a group that meets to work on sweaters, and though it costs $20, I reckon I'll get some good advice. If I can get anywhere on the sweater, I'll post a picture later in the week.
