Selbu Modern

Here's my Selbu Modern. It was a fun knit. Two skeins of Koigu, one the solid blue, the other a multicolor pink.

The childs cardigan is done, just need a picture. It doesn't look big enough for the intended recipient so for now, I am planning to use it for a baby gift for a coworkers grandchild. I also started and finished a Spiraluscious by Knitspot. It is blocking. I had needed a small project for a Spinning Guild meeting and that was it. Finished in less than a week.

On the needles now is another baby sweater. I should finish the back tonight and start a front tomorrow. The only other two projects on the needles that I actually want to finish are two shawls. One is my Spring Things Shawl, less than 20 rows to go. Plus, there is a C'est la vie! Wrap by Fiddlesticks Knitting waiting. I had bought the trim yarn at Rhinebeck last year and had hoped to get it done for this year but I just wasn't in the mood for it. It will be finished before next October.

Other than that, my mother now wants a vest instead of a sweater so I am off and searching for a vest pattern. I handed her the Patternworks catalog yesterday and she picked out a few so I will be ordering soon and then will get started on that.

Rhinebeck is a few days away and I can't wait. It will be a nice few days off for me as I take a few extra days around it to just relax. We had bad news at work of layoffs and paycuts looming within two weeks so Rhinebeck will be a refreshing break from the worry.
