Instead of working on my NaNoWriMo novel, I've started some new projects. Woo Hoo!! Please allow me my delusions that somehow new projects will help me write 50,000 words.
First, we have Elegant Gauntlets - commissioned by my daughter, and now I have popped my Koigu cherry. I actually started one on size 2s, frogged it, and restarted on size 3s. I think it is a little more drapey, and gauntlet-like. The size 2s are much firmer, appropriate for socks.
Next, the Baby Romper, from a Lion Brand pattern - baby boy is due January 18th, so I need to get it done, but it's not on the fast track (yet).
And finally, Cinxia - for Me! Me! Me!. I'm using Peruvian Wool from Elann, that was a ribby cardi in it's former incarnation.
And, just for the record, I LOOVVVEEE Koigu. I'm using Color #P154. I've found only one reference to this particular color online, and the picture looks *nothing* like what I have. The colors are fuschia, blue, gold, brown and some dark green. I don't have a functioning digital camera, but maybe I can scan my progress and post it later. Anyway, I can foresee that these gauntlets will be "shared" by mother and daughter.
I can't wait to hear/see the results of Cinxia. Oh, yes...Koigu is a thing of wonder!
