Cotton Summer Top Cast on in August 2008. Was sort of winging this one. I knit from ribbing to the sleeve opening in the round using help from Sweater Wizard software calculations, but had to do a little fiddling with the neck treatment to get the shaping I envisioned. One trip to the frog pond for that. Used a simple offset eyelet pattern to add interest to the top section. Added short sleeves, when I found I had enough yarn - whew! Size 4 US needle, yarn is commercial Katiya Mississippi 3. Finished in April '09
January 09 a pair of moss green cabled mitts, based on a Victorian pattern. Yarn from my stash--no idea what this is but it's warm! I think there's at least some acrylic in it. Size 3 needle.
Swatch of the Birdseye pattern for a small shawl. Unblocked. Size 3 needle, Zephyr laceweight silk and wool yarn in Vanilla.
