Works in Progress.
I swear my knitting ADD is out of control at times.

I need to do finishing (weaving in ends etc.) on my Coronet hat from Knitty. I also want to add a row of crochet along the bring in a contrast color. I need to have a finishing party or something. Maybe at the SnB in Davis or at coraline's next knit night. Weh.


I'm working on the second glove made to match my Coronet hat. They have cabled band from the brim of the hat along the cuff, some 1X1 ribbing and then fibonacci striping on the fingers. I need to rip out the thumb, which is mysteriously huge, and the pinky, which is mysteriously small on the first glove and redo them. Bah.


FYI, the contrast color is a beautiful deep purply pink, like this,


I'm also working on making a mystery baby hat for coolwhitestare to give to someone. Ooohhh....mystery. I finally gave in and bought a skein of Alchemy's silk purse yarn in "sour apple"



It's so beautiful and soft and glorious. The sheen and color are such that it glows. I'm so inlove. I think a beautiful scarf in a leaf pattern is what will happen. I'd make the most beautiful pair of fingerless mitts ever, except the yarn would probably end up getting ruined because hands get grubby easily.

I'm obessing like mad over Claptois. I can't use the yarn they call for since it's a wool blend. I would love to use the Alchemy silk yarn, but it would cost me about $90 in yarn. I could use the Alchemy alpaca yarn, but I'm jonesing on a scarf with the sheen that comes from silk. Maybe Cherry Tree Hill glitter alpaca, though I'd have to modify the pattern to have it work with a lighter weight yarn. It'd be about $40. Bah. I should just suck it buy some damn yarn. Maybe molesting yarn at Newbury Yarns will help satisfy me.
