See Eunny Knit!

I really want to start on this baby fair isle I've been thinking about, done with steeked shallow set-in sleeves and strands woven each stitch to keep from catching on little fingers. Button closures along left shoulder and arm. A shower gift - but it should be fast and sweet worked in the round. The pattern is still a work in progress.

I forgot all about the other project I have on the needles right now - a heavy hooded cotton cardigan that's been almost finished for months now. It's an old Adrienne Vittadini pattern with some short row bust shaping and a hood added, and turned into a cardigan. Everything you see here was completed in a frenzy of knitting during the month of May - only about three inches of hood and some minor finishing work (I want to make some knotwork frogs with raw leather cord, and I really should pick up and work a nice moss stitch strip on the front and hood edges) remain to be done, but I just can't get motivated to finish this. Of course, the fact that I can't wait to wear this doesn't really seem to spur me at all.
