Plans for posts kept falling through the last two weeks, so this post is for catching up a bit...
On the afghan for my new neice, here's where I was on March 12:
By April 11, I'd finished the body:
Now, I've done 4 of the 5 rounds of the border, but I haven't got a picture of that. I should be finished fairly soon, though, so I can show you the whole thing.
As for Ribby Cardi... I'm working on the 2nd sleeve. I completed the 2 fronts and the first sleeve up to the point where I finished 1 ball on each. I'll show a picture on that when I've got the 2nd sleeve done to that point... shouldn't be too long.
On Clapotis... it's on hold. The 2nd skein that I just thought was a little darker than the other 2 actually has some orange in the green areas that isn't present in the other 2, so I need to order another skein and hope it matches better. It obviously won't be from the same dyelot as the 2 that do match, but I don't think the one I've got is, either, so I think I have a decent chance that it'll be a better match.
I started working on my sister's scarf as a reward for finally doing my taxes (at the last minute... for which I feel rather stupid... we're getting a pretty big return from the federal government, because I had no idea how our move would affect things and didn't update the W-4 last year). Here's how that's going:
I do not like the way it's pooling (I'm beginning to think pooling is my nemesis). Please tell me what you think... will adding 2 stitches to the sides and going up a needle size help?
Also, I'm wondering if I should add another row or two before I start the lace pattern, because the yarnovers look a little too close to the cast-on edge to me. Would that prevent the knitting from doing that lovely ripple along the edge?
