Pre-tax day
This is what Sam did while I finished my taxes today.
Wish I could have been laying in the sun too. But, I am such a procrastinator. And I hate taxes. I mean who likes them. But they don't take any out of my fellowship stipend, and I have to pay estimated ones, quarterly. Come to find out I underestimated my state taxes by half! So I have a hefty bill to pay. Oh well, it is my own fault.
On the knitting front, here is the scarf that I made for my mom.
It is made of Plymouth Eros, on size 13 needles. It is my own pattern. This is not a great picture, but I'm not sure how to make it better. I knit it on the bias. I hope she likes it. I had knit one for my research mentor at Christmas, and she liked it, so I decided to knit her one. I will give it to her when I go home in a few weeks as an early mother's day gift.
Well, the baby blanket is coming along nicely, but hard to take a picture of on the circular, so you'll have to wait til I am finished. Until then, more knitting.
By the way, I think I have found the sweater I am going to make. It is the Vintage pink cardigan in the spring IW. Now to find a good yarn. Always open for suggestions.

It seems like a hard yarn to substitute, at least for me, since I don't know many yarns that knit at that gauge. The original yarn is so soft and pretty but also really sheddy.
What about one of the knit picks yarns? They have 100% alpaca yarn that might work. I love that sweater too, but can't add it to the queue right now...too many other sneaky projects lurk in my mind! :o)
