First Knitting Post - Trying to summarize WIP
Well, as usual I've got a few things currently on my needles, and I am sure I am going to forget some...
The top priority project (or should I say projects) is two cardigans. They are for our neighbor's twin daughters who are about to celebrate their second birthday. They are having a neighborhood party on July 16 for the occasion, so I figured I had to make them something.
- Yarn: Plymouth Encore Worsted
- Needles: 4 mm and US 9
- Pattern: from A&J Starmore "The Children Collection": Child's Mendicino
My second priority project is a doilly for the wedding of Pastor's daughter on July 30th. I am using 100% linen thread and 1.5 mm needles (I can't remember the size of the thread off hand).
I am also working on the Balmoral (thistle design) from Marianne Kinzel's Second book of Modern Lace Knitting. I kind of got it started as a knit a long with the laceknitters group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/laceknitters/). I am making it into a shawl using lace weight merino wool in a light grey and 3.5 mm needles. I am going for the dinner cloth size.
I also started the "Mystery Stole" (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mysterystolealong/), but didn't get too far due to the priority projects.
I am also working on my level I for the Master Hand Knitting program.
Those are the main projects right now that I can think off, but I should be working on Christmas presents soon...
I recently finished two baby blankets (for the June 12th) baby shower.
