  Progress Report
I'm stalling a little bit with my knitting this week. Too much else going on, I guess.

But, I did finish a little pile of random objects to send to a friend, including a bunch of icord, in different colours, all joined up together without any sewing. I started all of them, except for the first one, by picking up stitches from the middle of another icord, and finished the last two by doing that shoulder seam cast off I'd heard about, but not tried.

I also tried short rows, for the first time, making a mitred corner, and some darts.

And I finished the yellow version of my Butterfly Hat. Now I just have to convince a child to model it for me. My younger son is about the right age, but has a freakishly large head, and hates hats.

I think I want to start making a baby cardigan. My previous attempt at a sweater failed dismally (the ends of the arm pieces were smaller than the holes for them. I don't know why), but I think it's time to try again.

And I have an interesting more original hat pattern (as in, not just a normal shape and knitting style with an interesting pattern stuck on it), but I suspect it will take quite a while to become workable.

As a begining knitter who's already begun designing your own patterns, I think you're well on your way to being a knit addict. Join the club. I'm thoroughly there and loving it!
