After I stated in my last post that I would have progress photos I almost bailed… why?  Because one of my knitting bags was out in the car and I was too lazy to go get it.  Yep… that’s me.  Lazy.

But, I decided to be a good blogger, keep my word and here we go.

First…. sock is growing (boring photo but it’s longer, I pinky swear)

Next up is the Cutaway cardigan which has been cast on and has grown a smidge.  In this light tonight the color does appear to be chocolate brown.  I guess it’s a lighting thing.  So far, I’m enjoying the Jo Sharp DK wool.  Knits nice.  It’s not quite as soft as I had hoped so I’ll be a wee bit leary about itchiness but we shall see.

Next is a little surprise that I got this week.  AG and I walked to the post office yesterday and lo and behold… a gift.  Woo Hoo.  Debi sent me the Big Book of Knitting by Katharina Buss and a skein of Mountain Colors in the Wilderness colorway.  She had recently posted a photo of some socks she made and I was just so taken with the colors.  In addition, Debi sent me the kindest note and just warmed my heart.  I was so surprised and blessed.  Thank you, Debi, thank you so very much.  I have been reading and gleaning from each page of this book and just love it.  I wish the colors in the yarn turned out better in my photo.  I’ll need to try tomorrow when I’ve got better light.

Here’s a photo

Happy Dance.
