Progress...

After having felt like I couldn't catch up with my knitting, it's starting to feel better.  Listening to a well-told novel and giving myself the gift a little time has done me a world of good.


I'm making some progress on my WIPs here ....


Autumnal (sleeve #2)

Berocco Ultra Alapaca in Mahogany Mix


and here ...

Alexandra Cowl (original pattern)


I hope you're making happy progress on your projects, too.

  3. You're right on the mark about audiobooks.
    We love them here at this house.

    Your sweater is looking GORGEOUS.

    and Cowl in a beautiful color, too.

  4. They both look great! Are you going to release that cowl pattern? I have some handspun yarn that I bought on Etsy on the way to me in the mail and I think it would look really good in that pattern.

  9. Looking good! I've been wearing my Autumnal a lot - we've had a cold snap here too and the weight of yarn I used is perfect. Can't wait to see yours!!!

  13. I am the lucky Alexandra that Evelyn knitted the cowl for! I can't say enough about how fabulous it is. The pattern is so pretty, it is delicate and super warm. The way the cowl folds and lays flat but has enough body to make the sulptural structure interesting is great! I am so happy! Thank you Evelyn! Super cool.
