baby jacket progress
Making good progress on the sweater. The pattern actually calls for a straight front, but that was both too boring and not as cute as I’d been hoping, so I put in some decreases to make a slanted edge.

On Friday, I cleaned up my knitting basket–the one that sits next to the couch and houses my most current projects and random knitting piffle–and even formed some loose balls into new balls. Then I looked at the stash and thought, “What can I get out of this?”
As I said, I finished these on Wednesday, I simply didn’t have the camera handy. I’m really happy with the way they turned out; they fit my hands like a glove! (ha. ha. ha.)
While my momentum is actually here, I am thinking about my next project. Knitty’s all-men issue has an awesome pair of mittens–the manly mitts. I’m no stranger to stranded knitting (someday I’ll post the photo of the Christmas stocking I made last winter), and I’ve been wanting new mittens. I still really like my double-thick mittens, but they are falling apart, and I’d like to try making a new type, anyway. (New challenges and all that.)
