The beginning of a Debbie Bliss design knit in misti Alpaca, Bulky Alpaca/merino. This is a one sleeved wrap, and I think it will be pretty cool.
Another pair of Endpaper Mitts, knit in Luxe Sock--an MCN blend. So lovely to work with.
Some progress on Dante's sweater.
And the Bryn Mawr skirt from Interweave Knits, knit in Lamb's Pride Superwash Bulky. A quick and easy knit.

More to see
I cast on a sweater for Dante--this one will fit! It's a Norwegian style drop-shoulder pullover in size 38." I'm using Teksrena wool in blue/black and New England Shetland from Harrisville designs, in natural. I'll just be striping all the way up, although I'm tempted to figure out a little something for the yoke. We'll see.
These socks are Clockwork Cable from Ann Budd's Getting Started Knitting Socks, with quite a few changes to accomodate the recipient and the yarn, which is Sanguine Gryphon's Skinny Bugga in Black Witch Moth. I really do love this yarn.
And here is one half of Gnarled Oakwoods in progress, in an amazing cashmere sportweight that makes me want this project to last forever. The other piece looks exactly the same. I'm a bit short on yardage, so I'll cut out the last repeat of the middle panel, and I'll block the shawl more widthwise than lengthwise. Should be perfect.

Socks and Mitts
3x1 ribbed socks knit with Evermore Studios Dreamland Sock yarn in Moss green.
Endpaper Mitts knit in Wollmeise 100% merino sock yarn in a purple "We're different" skein and Natur, on size 2 needles. I'm not fond of patterns that use gauge for changing size, and think that Wollmeise in particular is unsuited for such patterns in colorwork, since it does not full. The mitts look better in a photograph than in real life, in my opinion, and I might have to knit them again--I'm afraid they might be too big.
