i haven't had much time to knit lately, but have been working the hood of my Tangy Giselle Wrap cardigan (i hate that word) off and on during the past two weeks. i got the most work on it done Friday during the two hours i attended the Mesa State Writers Conference. The hood is now about 12" in height (15" stretched) and fits nicely, is snug without being tight as far as i can guesstimate before knitting more. i've now placed markers and have started the back and arm increases using the KRL and KLL videos as a guide.
i am absolutely loving this yarn. There are some sts that are bigger than others, that look like mini holes, but i don't care, i love the way this knits up. It's really easy to tell that it's hand knit and hand dyed (the color isn't solid throughout, there is slight variegation).
i should be working on homework, have several papers to write (eek), but don't want to put the dang needles down. Luckily, one paper will be the same in two classes, but i still don't want to stop knitting. i've been sooo stressed lately, have been meaning to try yoga and need to knit more. At least i'm making some progress.
