Well, now that the baby boy is getting a bit more independent, I've had time to do a bit of knitting again. I recently finished another Trellis sweater, and am making good progress on brooklyntweed's Girasole shawl. I have a pile of other projects that need to be started once the shawl is done, including a pair of Aran Isle house slippers from the Interweave Knits Holiday Gifts 2008 issue, the Lizard Ridge afghan, a pair of socks, the Knit Picks Kimono-styled Sweater (still needs half of the body and another sleeve done), a few knitted mice that need felt ears and eyes attached, and Sheldon with some of his costumes. Oh, and there's the Shetland lace shawl, which is creeping along at a snail's pace. I am beginning to think I'll be lucky to have it done in time so that it can be wrapped around me when I'm laid into a coffin.
Here are some pics of the latest baby sweater.
The buttons are my new favorite: thin pieces of deer antler. They come in light or dark colors, and I get them at the Weaving Works in Seattle's U-District.
