Also, I've started two new projects now that I've finished the socks and the cowl! (not that I've touched those purple socks in a while...just too complicated!) I've been knitting my mom's sweater vest a little too - but one step forward, two back - I've found I didn't really increase enough and only have 200 instead of 204 sts. So, I have to fiddle with the armhole shaping to make it work, but it doesn't seem to mess anything up too much. The two new projects are a sock and a new shawl. Mike's been asking for some socks for a while (and has needed some - his old ones have holes, and I keep begging him to throw them out), and I started them the other day.
I actually love the way the Knitpick's Essential Multis is pooling - like nice little stripes. I cast on 64 sts in a 2X2 rib and am going to do a stockinette cuff.
And I've also won a skein of Painted Sheep's yarn in a "Spunky" colorway! I don't know how I keep winning things at the Teen Knitter's group, but I don't complain!
