Red
It's kind of funny how I go off on colour jaunts. Usually it's pink and/or purple. Right now, guess which colour I seem to be obsessed with?
I started some Wussypillow mitts.
(Spud & Chloe Fine in Red Hot)
I finished the Jitterbug socks for Calico & Ivy
(Colinette Jitterbug in Vatican Pie)
I started a Honey Cowl for Calico & Ivy
(Debbie Bliss Andes 08 Red)
and Olivia's sill plugging away, interminably
(Rowan Felted Tweed in Rage)
Red, anyone? (The not-red diversion hat is finished and blocking)

Olivia, schmolivia
Olivia.
Olivia, olivia, olivia. You're making me crazy. Double moss stitch and acres of stockinette on 3.25mm needles will do that.
I have a back, two fronts and am maybe halfway up the sleeves. If I'm feeling optimistic. I've been knitting sleeves for days, and it doesn't change. The end feels no closer than it did a week ago.
So I took a detour down another road. A Road to China Light. Squish factor +100.
The colour is Carnelian - a little browner than I'd hoped, but still gorgeous. From The Loopy Ewe, in the process of becoming a Frukttradgard Hat.
Take *that*, Olivia!
