Oh, wool

thou art my favorite fiber!

It’s been quite awhile since I posted! (Besides the one from yesterday.) Lack of blogging does not coincide with lack of knitting, though. I have finished two pairs of Garter Stitch Mitts, am going to be casting on a third tomorrow, and depending on a certain JP, I might be casting on a fourth yet. (Good thing I really like this pattern!) I’ve been using the yarn from B, and I really like it. The mitts for my art teacher are complete, and now I’m just going to wait until he finishes my knitting bowl to trade. I’m going to do a separate post for these mitts, just because there’s so many of them.

I also finished Alucard’s birthday gift (way back in October.) I think it’s one of my favorite hats ever.

And I think he likes it too ^_^

I’ve also gotten a decent start on my Urban Aran Cardigan. I absolutely love this cable pattern! The shmoosh-factor of the yarn is delicious. I have almost one complete sleeve, and then I’ll start the second. (Does anyone besides me find it a little scary that this is basically my first sweater?) No progress pictures on that yet because it’s been downright grey here for the past week.

And lastly,

I bought, read, and loved this book. The Yarn Harlot is a really talented writer, and her stories make me smile constantly. Terrific book – I totally recommend it. (I have read The Yarn Harlot: The Secret Life of a Knitter, Knitting Rules, and I’m starting At Knit’s End.)

Now, I should go finish my paper for Great Expectations… Happy knitting!
