More pictures of trees. Still not much knitting. I need to pick up some beads for my Leafy Heather, I think. It's been colder and rainy here in the 'burgh. I'm up in the air about knitting this week. Actually I'm up in the air about alot of things. But wait! I've been
busy at work. I actually had to work an hour and a half over so far this week. I can't decide if I'm going to leave early or go out for lunch. Maybe both.
Trader Joe's is within walking distance. I could go down and get a salad.
But the cooler weather has me thinking of sweaters, too. There's the The Celting II, and Celting Remix to consider, as well as
A Fairisle Vest and hmm, maybe a Chain Mail sweater. I'd also like to revisit
Irreversible for Younger Son. I've seen some
swatches and
scarves in
Araucania and I think it may be a good fit for the pattern. If I can only find some in a sufficiently murky man color. And then there is the lace. Leafy Heather is almost a done deal.
Heather got the prelim pattern last night. She
says she's waiting for the right tools to tackle it. I told her and CQ that I didn't want it to be too simple, but I may have gone too far over to the dark side. But honest, Heather! Stitch markers are your friends! The pattern repeats are logical! No large patterns over the width of the entire shawl (what killed me with MS3) -- these all have a logical progression and once you get started you almost don't need the chart. Really! And besides, it's not everyday you get to knit yourself a cashmere shawl. The pattern should be heirloom quality.

I know! I know! Seriously, I am waiting for my needles. Fear is my friend. It makes me work harder... or hide. This time I think I will work hard... and it is cashmere... and beads... and cashmere. Where are my needles!!!
