Finished Sweater: "Into The Woods". I think I might post the pattern ... eventually. It worked up fairly quickly (despite Kingston running out of yarn for two frustrating weeks). I'm now obsessed with double stranding; it's just so clever.

I'm working on items for shows again which means I need a real knitting challenge to counter act all the jumbo gauge crocheting. (I'm not doing the Knitting Olympics, though. Way too much pressure thank you.) I want to try elann's lace shell with cap sleeves but I've frogged it about five times now. A lot of that has been my fault, not keeping track of raglan vs lace increases, but I swear it's a weird pattern. If anyone has tried it please let me know. I figure if I get the knack, I can substitute other laces into it. ooooh, and a slight peplem. Will try and blog more.... Soundtrack: "The Maritimes", Classified, "Twenty Something", Dala
