I haven't been knitting at all since Ravelympics. Even though I have a few projects to finish, I just don't have any interested in them anymore. Here's one project I am considering frogging. I am thinking hard about it because I am almost done with it. The pattern is great and I love the self-finishing edging techniques. The part that is not working for me is the collar. I knitted with 100% wool yarn and the collar is so puffy. When I tried it on, it is like I am wearing a choke collar or something. And the fact that it doesn't have any buttons for closure, it just doesn't look right in the front. I think it is best to knit this cardigan with silk blend or other fiber that gives nice drapery.
I finally cast on a new project this weekend. It's "Traveling Woman" shawl by Liz Abinante. I am using Socks That Rock yarn in Crabby McCrabbypants colorway. What you see in the photo is where I finished the stockinette stitch section. Right now I am deciding if I should make the pattern adjustment and make the shawl larger or not. And I also have to make sure I have enough yarn to do it.
It's been a total craftiness weekend. There are new handspun yarn too. But they are still too wet for photo :)
