I'm working on two new projects, having essentially abandoned the Eliza Bennett until I have the patience to work out the sleeve cap shaping.
Up first, a new sweater! From the Interweave Fall 2007 magazine, the Placed Aran Cable (or, if you'd like, a Ravelry link). A lovely Cascade 220 color, deep blue with flecks of green. This should be a fabulous pullover with a great cowl neck. Lots and lots of stockinette (I'm knitting it in the round), and then some fun cables.
And next, a pair of socks, using Grumperina's Helical Stripes technique. Using the ever-pooling Shibui sock yarn in Peacock and some leftover Shibui in Canary yellow. So far, I love them. I forgot to do all the k2tog I meant to when I switched fromthe ribbing (and size 0 needles) to the stockinette (and size 2 needles), so I'm going to rip back all the stripes you see and start over.
We spent most of the day yesterday working on building a compost bin and a chicken run. (By "we" I mean "Mike with about an hour of help from me") Right as we were starting out, we noticed these little guys in the neighbor's tree.
We know you're getting chickens, and we want your eggs!!

OMG - you don't even HAVE the chickens yet and the raccoons are already drooling!
Wow. Those stripes are genius!
You're like me - you can't seem to step away from the blues and greens. It's addicting, really.
Chickens? That's so cool. My cats would be happy...
I love those sock colors. I'm thinking of moving to Portland in the next year. How are the yarn stores?
What is your ravelry name? Or email or whatever. I feel silly leaving comments for this.
