Sarah helped me update the photos in the margin of my blog
page – so that they would show the projects that are not only “on the needles,”
but are ones I am actively working. 

These projects-in-progress do not really look like much.  The lace is scrunched and the ruffles are
shapeless.  Some are just a few rows of
pattern or simple ribbing.  A nearly-done
sock looks like a sock, of course – as would a sleeve, if I had one nearly
done!  My favorite photo is the Afghan of
Guilt which is knit in the round, growing ever larger as four stitches are
added on each round.  It does look like a giant reggae hat at the
moment.

The two newest projects are Max’s Thanksgiving sweater –
yarn like rope knit on size 11 needles (2 stitches to the inch!).  It should take me about 5 minutes to knit –
or so Sarah claimed in the yarn shop. 
The second unforeseen project is a blue tam for my own sinter wear.  I like tams – they suit my head shape and
they don’t give me “hat hair.”

I mentioned the yarn shop and the unforeseen nature of the
two latest projects. 

Sarah and I ran an errand and ended up at the yarn
shop.  We ended up at the yarn shop the
way a leopard ends up at a water hole. 
And, like the leopard who leaves the water hole with a belly full of
gazelle, we left the yarn shop with a bag full of yarn.
