Have to finish the Moguls scarf for my 6' tall nephew, and the Nature Cotton cardigan for my great-nephew. The Moguls design calls for 360 sts/row @ 6 rows/stripe & 12 stripes. My mind balks at doing the math, even allowing for my arbitrary truncation to 310 sts/row (62" vs. 72" is perfectly acceptable in my mind).
So I am trying to turn this 
into a completed version of this:
which right now does look rather like a demented, mutant ruffle, but holds the promise of actually being kinda cool, and semi-reversible. It is, sadly, a wee bit too unwieldy (as well as heavy) to wrangle during a morning subway commute. Thank GAWD that my office will be closing early this Friday. 8-1/2 stripes down, 3-1/2 left to go. Ack.

Oh yeah, Plymouth Encore Worsted on 9s.
And I am working on a variation of a previous Nature Cotton cardigan
I made for a friend's baby (still in use! yes!!) and adapting it for my great-nephew. Considering the gauge, it is just whipping along. I started this week, and have so far finished both front panels, and 1-1/2 sleeves.Joy: Blogger is finally out of beta and now works in Firefox!
Does this mean I can switch over to new Blogger without fear?
