Another Preemie hat of my own design, working on the pattern, with Sundara Sock yarn. Spring Forward by Linda Welch on US 1.5 / 2.25 mm with Sock Pixie Vegan yarn. Still have Saroyan Shawl by Liz Abinante with Malabrigo lace held doubled.

Rate Your Date:
Sheila finished two Grandma's Favorite Dish Cloth pattern by Ruth from Big Springs TX, with Sugar and Cream cotton yarn. Nothing to show as they went as a gift this past Monday. Great one night stand.

Future Dates:
Sheila plans to cast on Iris Mystery Shawl by Natascha Vogele, planning on using Wollpapst Sonkenwolle. To finish what is on my needles, I have way too much.

Sheila, that Mountain Ash is so beautiful! I love knitting the Spring Forward pattern. It's my daughter's favourite socks that I've knit for her.
Wendy, The yarn for your Catkin is really really pretty!
I'm doing the Iris KAL too. :)
Oh and Sheila I asked you on the forums over there which yarn you decided on but now I know. :)
You two are too funny! LOL
BTW, "Unikat" is German for "one of a kind".
This is why I love our international audience. Unikat, who knew? My "walking around" German never would have figured it out!
Suezee, thank you. I am really liking the Mt Ash, and I really am going to like the size of it as well. I like the Spring Forward socks, they are easy enough and some what mindless. I think I just feel overwhelmed with everything else on my needles.
Elena, thanks for letting us know about Unikat, it makes sense really. Uni being one.
Sheila
