Reading Challenge: So far this year I've read 33 books and am presently reading A Royal Pain by Rhys Bowen, the second in her Royal Spyness mystery series.
Solace Stoles: These are going slower than I anticipated, although I have all the yarn I'll need except for the forest green. I had a problem with the border; however, after writing the designer, I am ready to go!
Entrelac Set: I LOVE doing entrelac! The hat is more than half-way done.
Irish Sweater: I haven't gotten too far; however, I've decided to frog it and start it again on a circular needle so that I can do the front and back at the same time (at least up to the armholes). DUH!
I have also started the hat portion of this entrelac set for my friend, Keri. In fact, I have completed the band and the first round of triangles! I know that she'll like the shades of tan and brown that came in the kit from Knit Picks (http://www.knitpicks.com/) . Later this week, I'll be ordering more of this yarn so that I can make a matching scarf.
The stole pictured above has been designed by Georgina Bow ~~ and, I'm going to make seven (7). Two are already on a circular needle in a light lilac and a plum for the twin daughters of a long-time friend of the family who was killed by a drunken driver who was talking on a cell phone at the time she crashed into Phyllis' car. Three more are for the additional siblings (cerise pink, forest green, and light jade green). I am also making one for my best friend who lives in Ohio (she likes earth colours) and one for myself (sea blue/green).
This sweater is on my needles right now. The pattern is available for free from Lion Brand. I'm doing it in Universal Yarn's Deluxe Worsted Tones in Atlantic (shades of denim blue). Can you tell that I love cables!?
