In Progress

From Pantone
Pantone says that the color of the year is emerald.  But my color of the month is definitely grey.  I don't mind, since I know these items will get more use as neutrals, but I am going to be ready for a healthy dose of color once these are done.


On the needles is a Chuck cropped pullover.  I had nearly finished a Miette cardigan with this yarn when I noticed I had made a mistake with the pattern right in the front.  It probably would have gone unnoticed by most, but I knew it was going to drive me crazy.  After leaving the project alone for a while, I decided I wanted something different.  I have just enough yarn for the Chuck, so that was what I settled on.  It's going pretty fast - I started a few days ago and am nearly at the end of the cables.


On my cutting table is another Minoru, this time in wool.  I'm making a few changes to the pattern - knit cuffs, a fixed hood, welt pockets and a few other little things.  I can't wait to share this one once it's done!

What's your first project of 2013?

Also - don't miss out on my blogiversary giveaway! It ends on Tuesday at midnight EST.

  1. I love the Miette and Chuck sweaters, both are in my queue at the moment. I am knitting the Emelie and just finished another Banksia top for summer.

  2. Wow, sounds like some fabulous changes planned for the Minoru... and I'm super jealous of how fast you knit... pout! lol.
    I am working on a Mary Jane top (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mary-jane-2), but still have a long way to go.. I guess that's my first project of the year!
    p.s I love grey! :)

  6. Oooh wow, I'm so impressed with your knitting! I'm still doing scarves, and can't really see myself having the patience you seem to possess for this. Amazing! I'm also planning a wool Minoru, so I'll keep my eyes peeled for how yours turns out, and any lessons I can steal ;-)
