Lunchbreak Update

Listening to: KDHX
We have pictures: Third design shown in Three Tams. Yarn used is Kureyon and Lopi (the yellow) for the ground. Unfortunately, I am not a tam gal, so this was more of an experiment. It was fun, a nice change from lace, but somebody else will get to wear it. I have the yarn to do another with a royal blue background.


Anna's navy cotton cardigan is finished except for buttons. I'm not sure if I want to go pewter, or try matching the navy, or just send her the sweater and let her choose whatever suits her fancy. There is enough yarn for at least a tank to go under, actually enough for a complete sweater. The yardage in the pattern was way off or the yardage on the label was wrong... whatever, I've ended up with as much leftover as I used.
Also completed over the weekend was the white baby blanket. Thank goodness that's over. Yes, it was simple and mindless knitting, but the yarn wigged me out. I won't be buying acrylic boucle again.
The boring boring burgundy sweater is coming along. I set my mind to it, forcing myself away from things I'd rather do. The second sleeve is half finished! It'll be nice to mark it off the list of Unfinished, but I won't be wearing it until next fall.
Also nearly finished is the Boku Circle vest. Yes, that project has been in the lineup forever and ever amen. I bound off last weekend; just needs ends woven in, blocking, and crochet trim for the armholes. Yay for liberating 2 size 9 circs! Maybe I'll have to knit an afghan now...
