Currently on my needles {Knitting}

There are a lot of projects (knitting and otherwise) going on at the moment. Some are so so close to be finished (hopefully this Friday?), and others are just getting clearer and clearer in my head and ready to be put onto paper. August is going to be a busy month! 

Today I am going to reassure Chrissy at Stitched Together that I have started her shawl! I had the yarn custom dyed by Steph, and she got the perfect colour (here is the inspiration). This is knitting quite fast, so I should be on schedule - phew!

More on this when finished.. 

The effortless cardigan is growing. Not a lot of details to give you here, it is a lot of (only?) stockinette. I don't think I will modify the pattern radically. I have taken on board the comments on Ravelry and made the side panels smaller (17 stitches instead of 27 stitches), and changed the point of shaping so that (hopefully) it works better on my body. I may modify the edging, I think, we will see when I get there - although that should be the exciting part of this knit. 

Pattern: Effortless cardigan

Yarn: Berroco Ultra Alpaca in Blue Glasynys (slightly worried 
that it is discontinued, hopefully I bought enough skeins)

Needles: 5 mm circular 

I am still reading About a  Girl by Lindsey Kelk. To be honest it is an ok read but I would have finished it if it was as good as the reviews made it out to be. I will finish it because it is enjoyable, but not the best chick lit out there. 

Joining others at Tami and Ginny's today.
