Knitting Notes

We’re getting the first real snowstorm of the season, so it seemed like a good time to take stock of my knitting.    The above is as far as I got with the Hermione Loves Ron Hat – turns out I did not have enough in that leftover yarn to make that.  So that was frogged Friday night.

The Willowfall Cowl as currently drying on the dining room table – I should be able to do a finishing post on that by next weekend at the latest.   (Barring a replacement to the trip to VT we were going to be doing this weekend before the weather intervened.)

In the quest to use up ends, I cast on a Wrap Me Up Puppy by Susan B. Anderson.    The body is in I Knit or Dye Killing Me Softly Aran.    And it’s a wicked quick knit.    Since I took this picture this morning, I’ve finished and stuffed the body, and made both ears.

I’ll make the blanket for this in the MadelineTosh I just frogged from the hat – a nice bright red seems good for a toy.

I also went out and bought yarn for a new sweater yesterday.   I knew I want to make one, but have been waffling about which kind exactly.    I occurred to me this weekend that one more heavy weight I could wear around the house would be more useful than another sweater I could wear to work (though I do still have a few candidates for that).    I’ve had the pattern for Jennifer Steinglass’ Telja for a while (got it on sale), so I want to my LYS and bought some Quince and Co Owl to make that.    Whether or not I start it this weekend will depend on if my printer has enough color juice to print at least the charts.    I’m not starting until I get a good print of the charts.
