Booties!

I successfully made two booties.  And they're the same size!

Add 1334 more stitches to my monthly goal of 800.  I think I may need to reevaluate my goal.

April Showers and Stitch Update

With one week to go in the month of April, I figured an update was in order.  It's raining today, so I'm hoping to get a great deal of stitching done before braving the elements to deposit a check and grab a few materials for next month's knitting projects and my summer commission (16th century fencing duds for a gentleman in Ohio).

My cabled mini sweater vest is coming along nicely.  I'm to the underarms, where I'll cease to work in the round and split onto straight needles for the front and back:

I've begun a set of booties for my cousin Gretchen's little girl, who's due soon.  I started them at 7am, and they're coming together very quickly.  I may have them done by the end of the day, and then I can make a matching hooded capelet.  I don't have a pattern, though, so maybe I'll make a blanket instead.

And I'm going to gather materials very soon for Odile & Ulfr's baby gifts, which will take a while, since the perfect knitting pattern requires intarsia and other techniques that I've never tackled before.
