OK, I know this is just the honeymoon period.
I know I’m only 1.5 skeins into a 12 skein project.
I know I will inevitably hate myself for starting this knit.
But, man, I love how this blanket is turning out. I love the feel of the eco wool yarn. I love the way the little lace “petals” grow and shrink as I knit them. I love how complicated the cable crosses are. (I actually use 2 cable needles for some of them. There’s probably an easier way to do them, but I can’t figure it out.) It’s a nice width, and I’m pretty sure my math will turn out to be right, and it’ll be the perfect size for a nice sofa throw.

In fact, I love this blanket so much, I’m going go grab my knitting and take advantage of the fact that both of the kids are sleeping (which I’m sure I’ve jinxed by typing that out).
What projects are you loving right now?
I’m knitting with yarn that has surprised me – I expected more intense colors from “Sonoran Sunset” but the lacy cowl is looking surprisingly pastel. It’s lovely rather than dramatic.
Lace and indie dyed yarn are always such fun!
