A new project  
I cast on for a new project yesterday. Bad, tine, bad. I was supposed to fix all my broken projects. I've been doing well with that but since I finished my sock (that I now wish I had gone one more repeat with, but whatever) I had NOTHING on the needles - oh the horror. I couldn't go wait for my car to be serviced without a knitting project, now could I? I couldn't face my week with nothing to pick up at a moment's notice. I have begun my Mariah. I'm doing the sleeves first, which I can likely finish before my knitting weekend in April, leaving the easier body to do there, which is better suited for social knitting than knotwork. And if I happen to finish the whole sweater by then (HA HA HA) I'll do a felted bag or top-down raglan. I'm using dark gray Paton's Classic Wool for Mariah, which is my favorite, it's so soft and wonderful to knit with.

I'm done fixing the orange/pink vest, two more bits of pink edging to do.

I'll cast on for Wyvern sock #2 this week when the mood strikes.

Hey, that Mariah pattern caught MY eye too! I've never tried one of their patterns yet. I'll be interested to see how that works out for you. Wait, I lie. I've only done their animal finger puppet patterns, but that doesn't count as clothing.

It's going OK... it was slightly confusing at first, but after a little thought, it was all good. There is an errata for the pattern too, if you end up making it sometime. And apparently people have had a problem with the sleeves being too long, and I apparently have short arms (I have to shorten every pattern by like 2 inches) so I'll be modifying as I go... at least the sleeves are done first, then the rest of the pattern should be a breeze!
