Projects Projects and more!

St.Patrick is coming along. I haven't had a lot of time to work on it so concidering it has only been a week not too bad. I am a bit dissapointed that the cables don''t show as much. But I am guessing they may become more evident as it gets longer. I got this yarn to do a aran sweater so a aran it will be. Even if the cables don't scream look at me :-)
I spent Wednesday night trying to catalog my yarn in Ravelry. While I have a lot of misc. bits, (which will become a scrap scarf or something similar one day) I wanted to have on file some of the nice yarns I have purchased. I came to realise way to quick that I have a lot of freaking yarn! I told Dale I need another cedar chest, he said he will keep his eyes out for one. I said screw that we have a backyard with cedar trees we are gonna make one! He said cool :-)

So upon realizing all the pretties I had I was inspired to use them! So I have cast on the famous Clapotis with a pretty I got at the Torpedo Factory. Almost everyone in my group has done one so I figured I would jump on board as well. I hope I am doing it right, I guess we will find out when I go to drop the stitches.

I also intend to take on my fear of fair isle and start the Sipalu bag. Kate I mean Hiltz got me this beautiful kit last year for my birthday and there she sits. So In the next few days I'm gonna take it on and give it a go.

Dales Birthday Hose









So Dales kilt hose were finished in just enough time. They fit perfect and look great. In the end I used 3 skeins of Patons Classic Wool. He is very happy with them. Next pair I am going to try designing my own cables. Well see how that goes :-)

Now that the Kilt Hose are done...

SO now that Dale's Kilt Hose are finished (Pictures to come soon!) I have started a Aran Sweater for me. I picked up this beautiful Irish New Wool the last time I was in Ireland and was waiting for just the right pattern to use it for. I fell in love with the St. Patrick pattern in the a fine fleece book. So I have started this one in hopes I can finish it in time to enjoy it a little this year.
