holding steady

I  haven’t reduced or increased the stash of sock yarn at all (hopefully soon it will be two skeins down).  The reason for this is that Maryland Sheep and wool festival happened.  I figure still being one skein down after that is a great accomplishment.  The one skein became the Clover honey shawlette with 2.5 extra pattern repeats.  I am so on a shawl kick- I’m getting lots of inspiration from cottontail  and her lovely shawls

I finished one handspun project – a cowl in green so now I have two green handspun cowls, the other one is because cottontail knit up a pretty thing cowl for me out of some handspun I gave here.  I also finished by first lace weight project and wound the skein for the next one.  For some reason a lot of lace weight yarn followed me home from Maryland sheep and wool so I better keep knitting lace.

I am about 4 inches into my sweater- as it is cable and lace on size 3 needles I expect this to be a long term project.

In other news- still no job for DH, he had an interview 3 weeks ago but hasn’t hear anything since.  I moved- unfortunately not home but to a new place in Rockville, MD, it’s slightly bigger, a true first floor and so far much nicer (this is week 2).  I spent the weekend with my folks, my dad had to have surgery (it went well, he’s home now) so I figured it would be good to be there for that.

Catch you later.
