The knitting on the mittens is continuing.
I have finished one mitten and started the second and a third (the winter pair, made of sock yarn and alpaca). Since starting the winter pair, I have realised that I now need a couple more sets of 2mm and 2.75mm double pointed needles - it's kind of difficult to finish off a mitten (do the ribbing) when you're using that set to start another mitten with.
In lesser notes, I've done a couple squares this month, worked a little on the brown-themed, colour-striped clapotis and did a few rows of the brown wool prayer shawl.
I've come into receipt of some lovely rich procion dyes and next month, I'll get the rest needed to dye the cotton chenille yarn needed to finally finish off the prayer shawl project first started in August 2005. *grin*. . . I guess taking 30 months to complete a knitting project isn't too bad. . .for me.
The silk kimono-style sweater is going to be the main project to work on (no, I'm not going to be so confident and foolish as to think I'll finish it this month) for the month of May. It's about time. It's only been sitting around for a year-and-a-half. At least I've finished the fronts for it. I'm crossing fingers I'll finish the back and maybe I'll be able to start on the sleeves.
The crochet amber-chip necklace is to be finished in August - well, I want to finish it and that seems like a good month - I want a project to take with me to summer school in Durham and it's portable.
Ok, that's enough. I'm sure I have forgotten something, but that's just too bad.
Until next time.
