Summer Projects

I can't believe it's almost September and time for Christmas Run already! I have been scouting some projects and have a few in mind, but mostly I'm winding down the few items I have been working on this summer. My knitting workload always decreases in the summertime, but I did manage to come up with a few things. Currently, I am using Lion Brand Homespun to make a prayer shawl for a friend going thru a hard time and also to make a sweater from lionbrand.com for myself. It is a bolero style with an awkward construction. I am almost done with it, but have been procrastinating b/c I think the sleeves are going to be too small and I don't want to fuss with it after the fact. Thirdly, I have been teaching a knitting class (in which one student came to one class - thanx, Mom!). We are on the 4th week for the pattern "Bob" from knitty.com which some of you may recognize from an early post on this blog. I made it in Caron's Simply Soft back then as well. Now I am using a color called Lavender Blue which is quite pretty. I probably won't finish all of them in the next two weeks, but I will post some pictures once I'm done.
