I spent NYE building this blog, backing up my email off-site, and trying to not think about the three projects sitting next to me.  Since I was successful building this blog, I guess I can get back to my fibery pursuits.  What’s on deck?

A lovely cabled sweater based on–Lucy Neatby’s Cables After Whisky–in my favorite commercial yarn, Tahkai’s Donegal Tweed color #843 (bright blue).  For the record, I already have sweaters in a green that’s discontinued, red 832, grey 835 and have made sweaters for T1 and T2 in stripes of 862 and 844 (blues).

The Chinese Red Vest from Folk Vests in Country 8-ply.  It took me three weeks to decide on the right red for this project and I’ve got 90% of it completed.  I just need to finish it!

Mittens for my DH from Knitter’s Handy Book of Patterns (see sidebar for link) in Brigg’s and Little’s Tuffy. It’s a very nice wool and nylon yarn with pronounced plies.  I took the cream yarn and dyed it over four days (four different dye baths) to get the colors I wanted.  It’s my favorite green (Evergreen by Country Classics) overdyed with various blues and greens to get a nice variegation.

If I can get the new digital camera to speak to my old computer, I’ll put some pictures up tonight.
