Monday night knitting

Having graduated from Hilltop Yarn's Advanced Beginner Class, I'm now ready to move on to the Projects class:

Projects is the class for you if you want to work on your project, try out a new technique, or work on something more challenging in a supportive environment. Students move at their own pace while working on their own project.

What's great about this class is that you can take it indefinitely - there are five 4-week sessions of it running sequentially between mid-January and the end of April. I'm signing up for the Monday evening slot.

They recommend that you work on three projects concurrently for the class to get the most out of it.

My big project will be this Donegal Tweed cardigan sweater.

I also just bought materials for a smaller project, this keyhole scarf. The stitch is something other than basic knit and purl (a herringbone pattern) and I'll be using more of a novelty yarn that I think will be more challenging to work with. It's a brushed suri alpaca and I couldn't resist getting it in pink lemonade. It looks just like a super-luscious cotton candy!

I'm currently working on the hat part of this hat-and-scarf set, but I should have that mostly done by mid-January. So I'm in the market for another project - and I have a great idea of something for a friend that will fit the bill. But it's top secret. :-)
