Two nights ago I finished Tappan Zee. Four skeins of raspberry Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool, two weeks, and a couple mods is all it took. I added 10 stitches under each armhole and opted for a yo, k2tog hem instead of repeating the diamond pattern. Tappan Zee is one of those patterns to do when you want instant gratification. Knitted from the top down and the diamond pattern adds just enough interest across the yoke to get you going. The straight stockinette on the body was perfect to work on during busy crazy evenings. The photo, taken with my blackberry, really doesn't do it justice. Hopefully this weekend the weather will be nice enough to get outside for pictures. Now to decide what to work on next.
(On the handmill soap and bath oil note - I'm still trying to locate supplies.)
