Current projects

I never really thought I'd find myself in this position, but I'm currently in the middle of 3 projects!! I started knitting a sweater for Drake, my boyfriend, for the Knitting Olympics. And YES I know about the love sweater myth and NO I don't believe it. :) Anyway, I got the pattern out of the Family Circle Easy Knitting magazine for winter I think. I finished the back of it during the closing ceremonies (ooops). It's turning out really well! I'm using Tahki New Tweed yarn in green (015), which I just found out is being discontinued, so I hope I don't run out! I'll have to take a picture of what I have so far tonight.
I also started a sleeveless top from Stitch & Bitch, but I've only done like 20 rows on that one.
My super pride and joy is the Wild Stripes blanket from Knitty, designed by Kristin Goedert. She's the best!! When I saw the blanket I was blown away - I love using tons of color and love that it's not your typical pink or blue (or even pastel yellow or green) baby blanket. I'm not making it for anyone in particular, and I'll probably like it so much that I'll store it away for the next 10 years before I have a wee babe myself. Here's the progress so far:



P.S. I'm eating Nerds.
