Yarn Along

I am joining in with Ginny of "Small Things" again this week  to share what I am knitting.   

I have so much to share!!! Which means I am a very happy knitter! 

The week of Christmas I finished up my 6 hour afghan. Again, I knit it with two strands of Paton's Roving held together on size 50 needles. This is probably my 5 or 6th afghan using this pattern and I have never hit the 6 hour mark but have always been happy with results. This blanket is CO-ZY!!! I made it for the living room but I keep dragging it into the family room to watch TV and knit with. It is so deliciously warm and snug!

On Christmas Eve while at my sister's house enjoying my sweet family and "yarning" with my mom and sister while Shane and my brother in law discussed "manly things" I started (okay, restarted) and finished a simple cowl. I cast on 50 stitches with Paton's Roving (size 19 circs) and alternated rows of garter and purl until I got to about 10 inches  to make a nice chunky (and warm!) cowl.  Again, this is my 4th or 5th cowl using this formula and it never fails to make a wonderful finished piece! 

I am currently (still) working here and there on my Nati sweater. I had hoped to finish it on our planned road trip to Cincy but as we had a tree come down (more about that later), we ended up staying home and working on some projects here including splitting said logs. I also started another single row lace scarf for myself which is coming along wonderfully! 

In semi related news, it seems many of my friends are having new babies in 2013 so it looks like I will have lots of baby knitting to share in the coming months! 

Oh, and Macabean wanted me to tell you he has been helping me. Love this cat! :) 

What are you working on this week?
