What does any sane person do when...

they've got four projects in the knitting queue? They sign up to test knit a sweater! Yes, I got accepted to test knit Stephanie's new super cute bulky mini-cardi! It's calling for superbulky yarn, so I'm using some Wool-ease Thick and Quick in Claret with a Moda Dea Ricochet edging. It should be pretty cute! I'm calling it Big Red. I've got the body of my friend's tie front cardi complete. I'm not quite ready to board the boat to sleeve island, so the test knit is a pleasant diversion. I also need to start cracking on my Rowan cable project and I've got a felted bag idea that's burning up my notebook. Some of you have wanted more pictures of Hopeful. Once I get the thing blocked, I'll take a few more. And yes, it was a very fun, relatively quick knit. I highly recommend it! I'll leave you all with a cute story gathered while working at the boy's preschool on Monday. I was overseeing the woodworking table where the children were working on hammering golf tees into styrofoam. All the children were wearing goggles and working away. One kid finished with her work, put her hammer and goggles away and said, "Whew! That's some hot work!" So cute...
