What I’m working on currently:

CORONA SWEATER: The Sequel!

I loved this sweater so much, I’m making another.  This one I’m doing in the same yarn as the first (Cascade 220 heather) but in a beautiful green color called Celtic (the photo really doesn’t do it justice).  I’m going to make it a bit bigger this time, with longer sleeves, for a roomier fit.  I’m also doing a simple Celtic knot cable.  Love love love it!!

Celtic Corona

The pattern is available for free on Ravelry.

RAVENCLAW SCARF

After the stress of all my holiday knitting, I really wanted something completely mindless to work on.  What better than a simple garter stitch scarf??  I had some leftover cheapy acrylic yarn from the Toddler Blanket Project, that happened to be in Ravenclaw colors, which is my House.   UPDATE JULY 2011– still a WIP!

Recently Completed

Boneyard Shawl

This pattern was SO much fun to work.  I plan to make another one at some point, much larger.  The yarn is Mountain Colors Bearfoot (not sure of the colorway, I got it as a gift w/out a tag).  Such a pretty yarn!

Malabrigo Felicity

OMG, this is the BEST YARN.  I’ve heard people raving about Malabrigo for ages, and finally purchased a skein of washable 100% wool Malabrigo Rios to make another Felicity (the other was a tad tight).  I adore this soft, gorgeous yarn.  My forehead is very sensitive to wool and alpaca, but there is minimal itching with this stuff.  It’s going to get a lot use this winter!

Neighborly Socks

My neighbor has this thing about crazy socks.  He particularly like argyle, but that’s a little beyond my knitting capabilities!  So I found this fun 100% wool yarn at my LYS.  Supposedly it is infused with Aloe & vitamin E… that’s a new one!  The pattern here is the standard one from Yankee Knitter that I always use.

Quick Cowl

I needed a really, REALLY quick gift for a friend, and was able to knit this up in a couple of hours with super bulky Bernat Felting Wool.  It was super soft and a beautiful sky blue (again, doesn’t show well in the photo).  I’m very happy with the way it turned out.
