Laugh, I can't get any further on Jana's raglan top-down sweater. I'm still waiting for the size 6DPN needles I ordered from JoAnn.com last week. I am currently about to finish 1 arm but need the smaller needles for the cuff. I need them for the neckband as well. And I don't want to start on the other arm since my size 8 needles are still on the ( Read more... )

I just finished the lace scarf, now to weave in ends and block. And I still haven't blocked Michael's scarf. Now to find time and a way to do them.
