I thought I'd post photos of 3 projects currently on the needles (excluding the Roundtrip Jacket that is languishing on Sleeve #2...):
This is the start of an afghan for an elderly friend who's recently contracted myeloma. I'm making it with yarn donated to my church knitting group; hence several knots in one of the blues. I figure, I have to sew in so many ends on this one anyway, what are a few more?! I'm having fun with the pattern though. It's from the May 08 issue of "Creative Knitting", in which I've found several other 'wanna-make' projects. Given the amount of yarn I have, I may not make as many bands of mitred squares as are called for, but I think it'll turn out nicely all the same.
And this is Sock #2 for my knitting guild's sock exchange. We get the code name and sock size/colour preferences in February, make a pair, and exchange 'em at our July pot-luck -- code names revealed. This is my 3rd year in the exchange; seems I never cease to enjoy receiving hand-made socks from a secret pal!
I have fallen a bit behind in my Mixed Media Surfaces class work, but have managed to put the body of my box together from Week 2: Here's the frame with 2 shelves in. Not pictured is the fact that I have the top shelf in as well, and the piece is ready for its drawers, which I have yet to put together. I may put it aside to work on the silk vase from Week 3. This includes dyeing silk hankies; so far, I've brought out the hankies and dye, but haven't alotted a block of time in which to play with this. I work most of the rest of the week and leave for Lethbridge and beyond on Thursday (gone a week) so...I may fall even farther behind!! Ah well; such is life.
