Moving right along

with the holiday knitting. Yes, I am. This sweater, for Kai

now has a second sleeve. That's good because the boy has two arms. I still need to sew in the ends.

While the second sleeve was still on a stitch holder, I cast on Graham's sweater. Same style, Wool-Ease in Pines. I just picked up the second sleeve. I wanted to snap a one-sleeved shot to post but I restrained myself. What is it about one-sleeved sweaters calling out to me for the camera?

The MAN sock is growing a mate. I'm working on the gusset decreases. I haven't yet grafted the toe on the first. I need a foot model so I can see if it'll stretch to fit Al's boat feet or if I'll need to tinK the toes and add a couple inches.

I've got the yarn--black and fluffy white Wool-Ease--for Kait's Very Tall Socks. I really want to get started on them but I promised myself I would finish some other things first. Plus, I can't work on them around her because black and white sock-shaped objects will be too obvious.

I have the cashmere (charcoal heather) for Peter's Irish Hiking Scarf. I can't wait to get started on that...oooh, cashmere! But, again, must finish other projects. Maybe I'll at least wind the hanks into balls tonight. You know, since Peter's not home.

I need to finish the back of my Kepler and sew it together. I should do that before I end up sitting on my chair-shaped butt so long, the sweater no longer fits. Especially since I made a medium. Ugh. I wish I could knit and walk at the same time.
