Yep, it's Wednesday again, and Wednesday means that I take stock of what I've been working on this week.
The Boneyard shawl didn't get much of a look in this week, so I didn't bother to take a picture of my minuscule progress - you wouln't even be able to tell!
I have cast on for two new projects, though.
The first one is a test knit for Ruth, so I can't tell you much about it. Here is a sneak peak at it though:
The second is a beanie for myself. I had a few comments on my FO post that highlighted the absence of a beanie for the knitter and to be honest, boy #1 in particular had also been quite vocal about the absence of a 'Mummy Beanie' and had been quizzing me about colour combinations.
I cast on with the same yarn that I'd been using for my previous testknit for Ruth, the now released Cosan Cowl pattern. I had a blast knitting it, and I think there might just be enough yarn left for a little beanie to go with the cowl.
As for reading, I'm re-reading Life of Pi. We have a long-standing tradition of me reading to him in the evening, and although I'd previously read Life of Pi we decided to re-read it together. It's a wonderful, wonderful book, but I can't really tell you much about it without spoiling it I think. :)

Haha loving the teaser shot, it's just exactly that, looking forward to seeing the colour combo you've selected this time and I really love the idea of having a matching beanie to a cowl! Mummy of course needs a beanie
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of a matching beanie to the cowl.
ReplyDeleteLove those two colors together. Happy Mummy Beanie!!
ReplyDeleteFun colors for your beanie and the fact that you already have a cowl to match is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love your choice of colors for your projects and a cowl with matching hat sounds wonderful. I should do that for myself. I read Life of Pi and it is good but some parts were hard for me to read about the animals.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the pink and is that burgundy? together. Can't wait to see the finished items!
ReplyDeleteLove your two colors. Yum!
ReplyDeleteIt's only right you get a beanie too! You picked great colours.
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't watched the movie - Life of Pi - do! It's chock full of stunningly gorgeous visuals.
ReplyDeleteNice to see you knitting something for yourself ... and lovely colours!
I like the dark and light contrast in your beanie.
ReplyDeleteso glad you're getting your beanie, too!!! Great colors!!!! (loved Life of Pi, too! and surprisingly, I loved the movie. Usually a movie spoils for me what the book put in my head, but this one didn't!)
ReplyDeleteI have been working on a cross stitch project...I started out strong when it was rainy at the beginning of the week but it has sat untouched since the sun came out a few days ago. As for reading...I am only about a quarter of the way through Emma and I had planned on finishing it before the end of August. There is hope yet....
ReplyDeleteLove the look of both of the knits and the colour in the second is gorgeous. Can't wait to see your test finished.
