All right fellow knitters...Now I really like working on one project at a time but I have to confess...I've lost it. I think a little bit of
Froggy is wearing off on me. I'm working on 2 knits at the moment...and will soon turn to 4.
Number 1 is
Olive. Olive is my mindless knitting with my knit buddies project.
Number 2 is my Tweedy Aran Cardigan...

I started this about 3 years ago. I love this cardigan. I don't know why I ever put it down. Well I picked her right back up from my UFO's. This is the back & was finished long ago.

I've been steadily working on the front...which you can obviously see is now finished. I am so proud of myself...I remembered how to do the short row shaping without even looking in a book. The shoulders are nice and smooth. No choppy bind offs here & there. See...lots of knitting pays! Now I'm on the first sleeve...

I am in love (I know you have heard that one before) with this sweater...

This pattern is from the IK 01/02. This is the hardest knit that I have ever done. It has lots of very different stitches and you have to pay attention to increases, decreases, stitches, rows and shaping all at the same time. This is not a knit night project like Olive is. I need to be by myself...all alone. I'm
loving how she is coming out so far and from the looks of her when I hold her up, she will fit perfectly...I hope!
Number 3 will be my hubby's Cable Vest. I should probably get that done for his Birthday in November or even better...Father's day.
Number 4 is Lara...

Most of you know that this pattern is from Debbie Bliss' Alpaca Silk. I really like this sweater...but totally fell in love with it when I saw my Mom's finished Lara. She did it Karabella Aurora 8 in Burgundy. Not only is it gorgeous, it fits unbelievable (I should know...I tried her on!) It is shorter, like a bolero & fitted but so cute. I'm going to knit her up in Karabella Aurora 8 in this color...

This is color 18. It is a deeper burgundy that what my Mom used but will go with so much.
Well that's it for the projects for now...I hope!
I picked up this little dodad...

This is really cool. It automatically measures button placement without all the math. Now that's cool!
Now...the best for last...

Another fabulous knit night with my knitting buddies. We went to the new restaurant...
Cheeseburger in Paradise in Pasedena. They have great drinks and the food was fab. The best part...the
Chocolate Nachos(to die for) & the
Key Lime pie. YUM!!!!
Then off we went to the local Starbucks to knit. We met this girl Wendy and her hubby (it was his Birthday) there. She was nice enough to take this photo. Thanks Wendy & huddy. It was so nice to meet you!
Well that's all folks...until next time...have a great week!
P.S. I didn't mean to forget about Rogue. The problem is the zipper...I don't have one yet. I've had some problems finding a 2-way zipper. Zippestop doesn't have any in the right color. They said that the season is over and they won't be getting the one I need (a 2-way in the color I need) until next season. :-( If anyone knows where I can get a 2-way zipper, please let me know! There is one place about 45 minutes away that I'm going to check out shortly. Otherwise Rogue is all finished...minus the zipper! And she's looking damn good!
P.S.S. I replaced the pictures of my Aran Cardi so you can actually see the stitches more clearly!
