While I did work on the Ladder to the Sky socks, they're still not done. The gusset is finished though and I do look forward to wearing them.
I worked mostly on my brother RJ's scarf which is growing quickly but it needs to be about double the size. His birthday is coming up in less than 3 weeks and I haven't even started the hat.
In an effort to free up some of my projects on circular needles, I finally started working on the "Forget Hermione! These are for me" mittens by transferring them onto the brand new Knitter's Pride DPNs that I purchased to replace the set I had kneeled on. I am getting excited about them again.
The new pattern(s) that intrigued (http://thisismetryingtobeawriter.blogspot.ca/2013/09/what-sock-yarn-isnt-only-for-socks.html?m=1) me this week is the "Earth & Sky" shawl by Stephen West. I bought the pattern, picked out potential yarn and now I'm trying to locate the 4US 47" circular needles that I apparently own but cannot find. The second pattern is the "Chadwick" shawl. I'll get around to that one once I can actually start the "Earth & Sky", which will not be for awhile but here are the pattern pictures of both of them.
