I have the long promised pictures of the current active WIPS.
First up (and now this picture is a tad out of date as I’ve made serious progress since it was taken), is Kat’s Baby Toddler Surprise Sweater. As a reminder it is in three different colors of Cascade Superwash. The pink and turquoise are reading pretty true in this picture but the purple isn’t quite that dark. I’m using a random progression of stripes and am really enjoying it. As of this morning’s commute, I 5 ridges into the increase. Pretty far into it on a row count.
But honestly, I’m knitting on faith as right now, I just can’t picture in my head how the whole thing folds and the seams that are sewn. Fortunately, I have faith in EZ and have seen this finished by a gillion other knitters on the net.
Next up is Ariann. I’m a good way into this super sweater too. I’m trying to do a little on at least two projects each day. Yesterday was the TSS and Ariann. I accomplished another inch on Ariann while watching Tuesday’s Veronica Mars that the DVR captured for me. (As a quiet aside, I bit the bullet and opted for the cable box with the integrated DVR for my room. 
Dad pays for the movie package, but we could only watch it in the kitchen, where the folks had located the box. Yeah, not my favorite place to watch long movies. As a bonus, this DVR can record two programs at the same time, which my ReplayTV cannot do, sweet.) Where was I? Oh yeah, knitted last knit while watching TV. Not too much longer before I put this piece aside and knit the sleeves. I orderer the long cables from Knitpicks last night so I can magic loop them. Totally digging this sweater.
Finally, in interest of full disclosure, not to mention fairness to the monkeys, I started a pair of socks for the boy. Last week I picked up some Claudia Handpainted in Spring Break at MY and the sock in the purse project. I can’t say as I’ve done much knitting on it, but I haven’t gone out to lunch recently with the coworkers and needed waiting knitting. Fortunately, the boy tends to be a bit more patient with the knitted goods than his sister. Who, incidentally, demanded to see how her "yarn" was yesterday morning as I tried to get them into the car to go off to preschool/daycare.
Speaking of the youngins, Monday is their 3rd birthday. No way. Where did the last three years go???? Sunday, mom and I are taking them to the Sovereign Bank Arena in Trenton to see The Doodlebops in concert. Weee. Monday is a school field trip to a local farm to pick pumpkins. I took the day off and will be going as a chaperone. Monday night is a power squadron dinner that we all go to (the kids are the group mascots 
where they plan on celebrating the birthday with a cake. It just gets busier from there as Wednesday is a birthday party for one of the little kids in their class and next Sunday, we are having a party for them. Whew. I’m tired already!
Need to rest up after that for RHINEBECK! I’ll post a reminder about the whole bingo thing closer to the event. YAY!
That should do it for today.. time to get some lunch.
Craft on!
