Remember the Olympics?

Well, I do because it was the last time I had time to knit or do anything crafty. It's been a very fast but uncreative month. I haven't even posted what I was able to knit during the Olympics, so I'm taking a break from reading The Name of the Rose (only 100 pages to go before Friday!), and posting what I made.

It's the Sheep Yoke Baby Cardigan for a well deserving little boy in my world. I had a lot of Cascade 220 scrap yarn. It knit super fast. I've never duplicate stitched before so that was kind of messy, but it didn't turn out too bad. I made it in the 9-12 month size so it'll be chilly by the time he's ready to wear it.

Hopefully, I'll have some time in the near future to knit again. I miss it. Plus, I have to make my cat's Halloween costume!

Making progress

Holiday gift knitting is coming along fairly well - I have two socks done, their mates are underway, and the brown vest is also past the halfway point! I also finished a last-minute wedding gift, the Plush Throw from Lion Brand, which couldn't be an easier pattern and shouldn't taken so long, but again, I blame Harry. Above you can see Penny testing the blanket for plushness (she deemed it acceptable). I should be starting at least one new gift this weekend now that the bulky blanket is out of the knitting bag.
