on needles
i’ve been trying not to abandon projects these days, so i’ve only got a couple of things in progress. i’ve been working on this sweater on-and-off lately. it’s a lot of stockinette stitching, which is nice because it’s easy to pick up and put down when i’m at work. i’m using harrisville designs’ new england shetland in peacock for the body, and the yoke in pearl and black.

i’m pretty happy with it so far. it feels really nice and it looks like it’s going to fit well, which is always a plus. i’m getting excited to start the yoke, it’ll be a a nice variation from all of the simple stitching, but i’ll have to find a new carry-along project.
i also just finished these little baby hats for my friend allison: 
she’s due any day now and i’m also planning to whip up this little sweater in white and blue.
and finally, while not knitting related, here are the little owlie cupcakes that alyssa and i baked recently. we were the musical hosts at the scurvy dog a couple of wednesdays ago, and showed up toting my laptop and a gigantic box of baked goods that included these little cuties:
i named this one owen.
i’m off to do some reading and enjoy the rest of the evening.
