Penance should always be this painful.

My first Malabrigo, worsted weight, in the Verde Adriana colorway. It was a penance purchase for me, for committing a little LYS faux pas (not to worry; I have atoned, and been forgiven -- I think).

It's already been knit and frogged once, into and out of Knitty's calorimetry. Too big, too boring, and too -- green, which is nearly blasphemy for me. So I'm playing around with a smaller version with some stitch excitement. It's bitterly cold here, so I think I'll actually finish this rather quickly. Stay tuned to find out if my predictions are well-founded.

A poor excuse for an introduction, but a good excuse for procrastination.

A placeholder, of sorts, until I can justify taking the time to write the most brilliant blog introduction. Ever. Expect that to come in, oh, May.

This is the nearly-finished back of Paton's Urban Aran sweater, my first seamed sweater project. I will be attempting to make into a cardigan, a la Brooklyn Tweed, Streets and YOs, and MellowTrouble, to name a few of my favorite interpretations. I'm on the first sleeve, so this one might actually get done before it warms up.
