My next big-sized project (though not horribly complex) is the
Green Gable sweater from Vogue Fall 2008. Like a few others on Ravelry, I'm making it with Cascade Ecological Wool. This particular wool is a continuation of the Hemlock Ring blanket that I made earlier this year. One hopes that this will be the year of expanding into larger projects with relatively fine gauge and inexpensive wool.
Did I write about my wool-epiphany? I love it, for all of the reasons that everyone else does. I just finally decided it was worth it not to buy crappy acrylic.
I have one sleeve down on this sweater (done first to check gauge, then continued on), but no pictures yet. I have also worked a
moss-stitch beret, a
mitered beret and a pair of
mitered mittens. Ravel them through their hyperlinks, while I work on pictures of my recent endeavors.
Still happy that I remade matches for all of the lost mittens this winter. It makes me happy every time I look at my winter-woolies stash that no mitten is lonely and that I have 2 of my
favorite tam, but in different warmths/weights.
On second thought, I have also worked away some of the lonely balls of sock yarn that were clogging up my stash, and if I do say so myself, I have improved my photography skills considerably since I learned a few new tricks. See below (and at my
Etsy website):
