Got home "early" and figured I’d share the modeled Celtic Dreams. I loves this sweater. I wore it to work today and my lunch buddies who’d seen it in progress complimented. I gathered a couple of other compliments too. I must knit more cable-y goodness. Maybe time for that Gansey finally 
Anyhow, here’s the poorly lit iSight shot of me wearing Celtic Dreams.
Oh, i finished the first sleeve for Humdrum tonight and I must say that it is a good thing I found the same dye lot. No chance in hell that I could finish it with the yarn on hand.
The foul temptress at MY got me with more sock yarn tonight. Some absolutely divine Merino/Cashmere blend in a dark chocolate brown color. I cast on immediately for socks on US0′s, toe up. I’m calling them my Decadence socks. I think cable-y or lace-y goodness is going to be called for on the cuffs. I might have to dig out the Walker books this weekend and figure something appropriate out. I just had a brainstorm. Must investigate.
Off to knit a bit before bed.
Craft on!

You do know there’s an online class going on at the EZasPi group for knitting a gansey?
Cheers Eva

Wow! It looks fantastic! That sock yarn sounds divine! Hmmm, I wonder if that shiop is on the agenda for my visit? I think some of that sock yarn might have to jump in my car if so!

This is how far off the earth I have fallen: congrats on your CD! It looks just right (if poorly lit). I’m to the end of the first sleeve, byut to be fair, I had to knit seven repeats to cover my body. It’s good to know someone finished.
