This is the Everyday Cardigan kit from Peace Fleece that I just got yesterday from my yarncoop. The color is in Hemlock. Great deal on that for sure and I can't wait until the next one..someday ;) I really like the looks of the yarn so far. I will not know how it knits as this is going to be an August or September knit for sure!
This is the 2nd flower washcloth I got finished with but couldn't take a great picture...it is a sage green color. I have a bit of leftovers and it will be interesting to see what turns out. But that is a while off, my wrists are still aching a bit from the cotton...yikes..and I plan on casting on my Green/brown Gable top in cotton fleece within the next day or so.
On the needles so far are my 2nd 2 circ sock, sockettes (gotta finish one pair within the next 2 weeks!) Swatching for the 3rd time for Cutaway from Chicknits, but I think I am getting gauge as I went up 2 needle sizes, just like I had to for GGable. Oh and it is crunch time for Dulaan hats/scarves. I need to get them in the mail no later then the last week of June.... I am planning a few days off next week so I'll be knitting, sewing, and dyeing yarn for my swapee!
ETA: I got gauge on cutaway...3rd times the charm lately!!! Woot!!! I think I am going to start any future gauge swatch 2 needles sizes up from the recommendations...Maybe it'll save headaches and some on yarn!! Good thing I usually get 1 extra skein for these projects!
Hubby is sick with the flu, and I am still hoping I get to go quilting this weekend. I have the WIP's lined up ready to go! Now if I don't get the flu.....

No flu for you! You've got too much knitting to do.
Love the green--did you know it was this month's color for Project Spectrum?
I absolutely love that green yarn, it looks so cozy and comfy - looking forward to seeing it knitted up!
Fingers crossed that you won't catch the flu from your hubby - and hey, all the best wishes to him, hope he feels well again very soon!
The flu, YUCK!
Great job on getting gauge and I really love those dishclothes! Cute!!!!
Zonda! Thanks for your donation...good luck with the yarn drawing!
neat dishclothes! Very cool shade of green.. Hope DH feels better soon! Looking forward to seeing your GG soon...hmm chocolate!
That is a beautiful green! Congrats on getting gauge for cutaway, I think starting 2 needle sizes up is a good plan for you, less swatching, more knitting (I hate swatching unless its a striped/variegated yarn). Take care of your hubby, and enjoy your quilting!
Ohhh...Peace Fleece! I love that stuff! Gorgeous color!!
I love that green color! I need to post something green this month for project spectrum. Maybe I'll make a green dishcloth.
Isn't it great when you get correct gauge?
"Bein' Green" is one of Kermit's signature songs from Sesame Street - and I believe it is also featured in a new Ford Hybrid commercial. No wonder it's on your mind! By the way, great green yarn.
Oh wow! I just got that same pattern!!! I love that color in Peace Fleece too.
