Having put most everything else on hold, while finishing Robert’s hose and Aaron’s mending, and with those now completed, I’ve been casting about for a next project. Lots of ideas, and I’ve made a start at several, but which one will “catch”? Below you see balls/skeins of. . .

Pink: wool/silk for a gansey sampler for possible Master Knitter level 3 project;
Green: Koigu for next year’s Sock Madness, design due in September;
Eggplant: swatching Louet Gems for sportweight kilt hose;
Blue-green: scrap for a sock’s provisional cast-on;
Grey: testing gauge of fingering doubled for kilt hose;
Red: swatching Panda Silk for Baby Surprise Jacket, baby-cousin due in October.
Hmmmm. An embarrassment of riches!
And which might make for good travel knitting? — I’m planning a trip in August.
(The notebooks contain my Master Knitter work for levels 1 and 2, and project journals.)
Btw, isn’t my little piper cute? No, I didn’t make him myself; I bought him a few years ago at the Celtic Festival and now he “watches over” my knitting.
