Lace and Glorious Color

At some point in October I started knitting the Recoleta cardigan.  This is one of my projects for the Fourth Quarter KAL for ESK (the theme is lace in Aran weight yarn or heavier).  I'm knitting it in Queensland Collection Kathmandu Aran in Smoky Gray.  When I looked at this design, I loved the lace pattern and the overall feel of the cardigan, but I felt like it should be longer.  So once I had the upper body done, I put it on hold to knit the sleeves.  Then I'll come back to the body and I can just knit until I run out of yarn.  I'm not entirely sure how long mine will be, but we'll see!

I've also finished my first bobbin of the superwash merino.  I've started the second bobbin, but unfortunately, that's about all I've done with it.  I'd like to finish this yarn by the end of the year, and there's no reason I shouldn't except I've got to sit down and spin.  Funny how that works.

Lately, I've been doing some sewing but I haven't gotten pictures.  I'll get some pictures over the weekend and show you what's going on next week!
