Now that the Skews are all done, I've cast on for All The Things. Let the record stand that "All the things" means 2 new projects. I had wound up this skein of Canon Hand Dyes Charles in the Fall Leaves color way awhile ago. Somehow a bunch of deadlines got in the way, so the cake of yarn stared at me... until now. It is going to be a pair of vanilla socks.
Fun fact: this was the first skein of Canon Hand Dyes that I ever bought. We won't talk about how many skeins I have now...
Then I cast on for a Pomme de Pin out of Cephalopod Yarns Bugga! in the Nebraska Conehead color way. I've been knitting and knitting on this, and feels like growth is pretty slow. Don't get me wrong, it is an addictive knit. But I've forgotten how long a sport weight all-over lace sweater can take to knit. Also, it is one of those patterns where it looks much smaller before blocking.
It is really tough to trust a swatch, but in the case of this cardi, I'm going to have to. Once it blocks, it is going to be gorgeous!
I've decided not to cast on anything else until this sweater is done because I want to wear it now!

Not just gorgeous: SUPER gorgeous. Love that colorway!
That is such a perfect Pomme de Pin colourway.
That canon hand dyes colourway is droolworthy. Love the base too! I can see why you are sticking to those two projects. They are both super beautiful.
Hey, nice projects - both those yarn colours are gorgeous! Looking forward to seeing how your sweater turns out :) x
Oh my goodness those socks are going to be gorgeous! I love the colours!! :-)
