A Tale of Two Patricks

Patrick the Second is progressing well. I have the back completed (notice the lack of any armscye) and the front is cast on.

However, friends of ours completed their Patrick:


This is the Baby Granny I made with Patrick and new mom Chrissy. I'm not sure how much he'll get to use the blanket anytime soon thanks to the heat and humidity. The kid has been blessed with a great gene pool and some of the most grounded people I've ever met as parents.

Meanwhile... I've been sucked into a new project:


Bonne Marie over at Chicknits has an other lovely new pattern. The Mondo Cable Cardi. While I normally avoid A-line shaping, I think I can wear this (the key is that it's a cardigan and "hangs open"... I know I can't wear the pullover). I think it's going to be a great comfy cardigan.

I'm using one of my fave yarns: Moda Dea Silk n Wool in aquatic. Which took some to decide even with Matt's input. Both the yarn and the pattern met with his approval (heehee). I've already knit one skein, so it's going quickly (love the whole top down construction!).

Must get Monday Morning Chores done... then back to ye ol' knittin' needles!
