i have had a bad case of the starties. as a result, i have been starting bunches of new projects, and not really finishing them.
1) A yellow cardigan, with an asymmetric cable along the button band. I have the body of the sweater done, and am starting on the first sleeve. the pattern is lauren jacket (ravelry link*) by Ann Weaver. to be honest, i am not sure that i like the way this is turning out. the pattern is good, just not sure it is right for me. :-/
2) another slouchy beret, similar to the grey one.
3) a little baby cardigan. the last 4 babies born to my friends have been boys, so i was excited to make something with a feminine touch. the pattern is Autumn leaves. I am making mine a pull over with a key hole + button in the back.
4) garter stitch wash cloths are kinda an ongoing project. i love them for the bath, they are scrubbier then regular washcloths, and they are washable and reusable making them both more sustainable, and more hygienic then those plastic shower "puffs". I have just finished these two and have another on the needles. I can get 3 or 4 cloths out of one ball of cotton, that cost less then $2.
* a note about ravelry links: i know that some (most) of you aren't knitters, and don't have an account for raverly. i graveled with whether or not i should link to that site. i have decided that if that is the only link i can find, then i will use it, because a ravelry link is better then no link.
