No picture, sorry.
The baby cardigan is blocked, so is the hat. The hat is actually finished, the cardigan still needs a new cast-off on the first sleeve to replace the cast-on, that I've frogged.
Plus: I actually made a swatch for Devan, and am relieved to find that what I already started (cast-on was Friday night) works out fine. I am making the 3-4 year old size for ds who will be 2 in 2 weeks (as a birthday present, I just hope that I will be able to finish it in time!). I am using 2.25mm as the small needle size and 2.5mm as the main knitting needle, that's .5 mm smaller than recommended, but it gives me perfect gauge. I am knitting the two front panels on one circ at the same time, as I want matching panels. It is a pain, though! First of all, the two skeins I have run in opposite directions. So I can knit from the center for one, and have to knit from the outside for the other. Argh! Plus, I run into knots, where the thread continues at a totally different point in the color scheme. Plus, the color repeats are not really exactly the same length all the time, either...
So, I am actually frantically trying to cram in extra hours of knitting, knitting and knitting, in order to finish J's birthday present! (and the picture-taking for the blog and posting will be on hold while I knit, knit, knit...)
