Projects started

At the beginning of the summer I took a picture of all the projects I was working on. Some needed minimum work to complete like adding buttons or piecing together while others needed considerable more work and were in the beginning stages. I had a cardigan to complete, a pair of socks, an Ishbel shawl, a fair isle sweater and other random projects. Mostly, I worked on completing projects but I did start, and complete, a few so I could work on something new for my trip. Here is a picture at the beginning of summer. In a few days I hope to show a completed version of this picture. I can't wait to see it!

Sometimes there are just kind people in the world who share of themselves and their goods. I'm thankful for these people in my life, and especially in my knitting group, specifically Connie. I was gifted with enough wool for a cardigan and I can't wait to knit it. I'm pretty sure I've decided on a pattern (the Woolen Cashmere Twinset cardigan from Knitting Classic Style) and need to psych myself up for the challenge of knitting such a large project on size 3 needles with sock weight yarn. Something really neat about this yarn is the yarn band that doesn't give the yardage but does give the date and it is from 1973. It's like I will have a vintage sweater even before I knit it!
