I've got the ADD...
... and can't a) slow down long enough to blog, and b) stay with one project long enough to complete.
So while I've been gone, I've been working on the Somewhat Cowl. It is Somewhat Completed, but still needs to be Somewhat Blocked and Tamed. 
I tacked the collar inside, and HATED it. It looked pretty wonky. I think after I block it, I may tack it down flipped over like a turtleneck. That seems to work better with the yarn I chose (Cotton Fleece in Olivette)
So last week I received some terrific Trekking XXL in the mail from Tam, my April Colorswap pal. I've decided to use it for the Jaywalker. Here's how it looks so far: 
I was sitting at my LYS yesterday working away, and all of a sudden my yarn gypsy ADD kicked in. I dropped my sock and started this: 
It is going to be the PreTeen Dream Vacation Halter. It looks like cotton candy and bubblegum ice cream. It is a little bit Pink Panther, and a lot Florida yard flamingo. It will have about 3 inches of 1x1 ribbing all the way around, and then turn stockinette in the front, but remain ribbed in the back. I'm using Cotton Fleece in Tea Rose, and some Stacy Charles Pansy in Reds (although it is more pinks and oranges). It makes me want to paint my toenails and chew some hubba bubba. Can't wait. TOTAL impulse purchase/project. Oh well. It is almost summer.
By the way, here's an action shot of the finished Hourglass. I love this sweater. I've been whining about the unseasonably cool spring we're having (it's been in the 40's more than once in the past 2 weeks!), but it did give me one last opportunity to wear wool without looking ridiculous...

Okay, now I know who to blame for the cold weather. You've been doing the cold weather dance just so you could wear your lovely new sweater! The Hourglass sweater looks fabulous so I won't hold it against ya!! Much.
