Finally some WIPs....

This is what I've been frantically working on at the moment. It is a Colinette pattern called Enid, out of the book Iona. I'm not using the silk yarn they asked for....well I've never made a sweater and I'm not so sure about paying that much when I'm not sure how it is going to work out. I'm doing it in Skye Magenta.....it definitely has a WOW factor as far as color. I was knitting outside in the little bit of sunlight we actually have had this week and it seemed a bit brighter then the sun!
I'm also working on a Granny Blanket. Some of the yarn was given to me and I didn't know what to do with it. I bought the bright pink, which is another yummy yarn called Marshmallow. I need to get some more...hopefully Ippikins will still have some.



If you venture into my house...don't be surprised to find a few body parts laying around.....I bought this book recently.....

and I've been trying to make one of the teddies....but the body parts keep disappearing.....the culprit is one of my kitties that has decided that anything I make is for her sole use as a toy!

I really like the colour of that sweater. I also have some skye from colinette and it is so lovely to knit with, mind you it did dye my needles as I knit with it.lol

The sweater is coming along wonderfully!! The colors really pop, it looks gorgeous!

Love the new book and looks like the kitties do too. ;-)

Those little teddies are so cute. I can't wait to see one! I love granny squares - looks like you are doing quite a bit of crochet at the moment.
