I think I’m overdue for a knitting project round up, aren’t I?
\nFirst off, the purple blob, aka Spring Blossoms.

\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nIt’s coming along. I’m trying to do at least 2 rounds a day, but I’ve been failing miserably. Each round is taking an hour, and I just seem to run out of time.
\nI’ve got 2 rounds to go on repeat 9, then I’ll do at least 1 more repeat. I still have 35g of yarn, so I might manage 2 more repeats. It does look awfully small, and I’m using finer yarn and needles than recommended. The original pattern had 8 repeats. I don’t know if I could bear 2 more full repeats. We’ll see.
\nP-p-p-p-p-p socks.

\nI’m over them. This is the second sock, I have just 4 more rows until I turn the heel, but I am totally, completely, utterly Over it. I’ll finish them, but I have no idea when. Probably when Em’s nagging drives me to it.
\nNew socks.
\n

\nI spent Boxing Day playing with patterns and numbers until I came up with something I liked. I just wanted to use my new needles!
\nThe yarn is The Knittery<\/a>‘s Merino Cashmere<\/a> sock yarn in “Water Lilies”. I’m writing the pattern down as we go. The cables seem to slow down the production a little. I worked on these while we were away, and while I wasn’t working on this.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nThe Jo Sharp “Tweed Cardigan” from Knit 2<\/a>. I’m using the recommended yarn, Silkroad DK Tweed<\/a> in “Fleece”. I got the yarn from an eBay seller a while back, but I noticed today that she’s listed a bunch more here<\/a>.
\nNearly finished the back. I’m going to short row the shoulders and do a three needle bind off, rather than the traditional shoulder shaping used in the pattern. I think I’ll also make the sleeves a little wider.
\nTwinkie came home from the boarding facility yesterday, and she’s unhappy. She’s in her usual favourite spots, but she’s avoiding David and I like the plague. She still loves Em though!
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nWe’re bribing her woth food, and it seems to be working.
\nI forgot all about Saturday sky yesterday, my body is still in holiday mode, so here’s a Sunday sky.
