Pictured here are my current WIPs, lounging around on the sofa. From left to right:
- Backyard Leaves scarf — Not much progress here since last time. It’s classified under need-lots-of-attention knitting.
- Midwest Moonlight scarf — The light blue one at the front (the actual colour is more blue than shown here). This scarf is progressing along quite nicely, I only have half a ball more to go. I love this scarf! Love the pattern, love the yarn.. so soft! This is my not-much-attention-needed-but-not-while-toddler-is-around knitting.
- Sesame cardigan in Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed — The green one at the back, plus also shown there are the dark green and cream balls that I used for the fair-isle part. I’m up to the first sleeve now, on the sleeve cap shaping. This is my mindless-knitting-even-when-toddler-is-around knitting.
- Lovely Lace socks from IK Spring ’06 — This is the chocolate brown one on the dpns, down on the right. I just started this a couple of days ago on a bout of Startitis, so it doesn’t look much at the moment.
Looking at this picture, it struck me how my colours taste has changed. A couple of years ago, if you look in my wardrobe, all you’d see were navy blues, greys and blacks. Green was my least favourite colour back then. Now I’m so much more drawn towards earthy natural tones like these colours — the greens, creams, brown and sky blues. Hmm I wonder why.
