Yarn Along

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

This week is the official start of day job, part time teaching job #1, and part time teaching job #2. So to say I am feeling a tad overwhelmed is absolutely right on! However, part time teaching job #1's classes will wrap up in a week and a half and I do not have any more offered contracts at this stage. In addition, part time teaching job #2 takes place during the day and part time teaching job #1 is online so it is a tad less nutty than it sounds... sort of... 

If you are still with me (and bless your heart if you are, I am so happy to have you!), this has translated into a need for nightly fiber therapy (aka knitting), that is; a.) mindless and b.) is quick so I can actually see progress. 

My first project was a simple mug cozy that buttons up and has fit every mug I have used it with. I used Rowan Plaid yarn and it is snug and cute if I do say so myself!
*Note the super cool Tesla Motors mug (!) electric car swag for the win!!!

My second project, the Woodland Cowl, is still in progress but coming along wonderfully! I am using a hand dyed and hand spun yarn that I fell in love with at a fiber festival a few years ago. It's an alpaca and angora blend and I have been holding on to it awaiting the perfect project and this seems to be it. To add to the hand made love I am 99% sure that I will be using my wonderful Wooly Moss Root buttons!!

My Nati sweater is still sitting patiently awaiting my upcoming three day weekend... 

What are you making this week?!
