Now I have moved to colorwork. I have finished the body on Katherine of Aragon. I will be cutting the first steek at my knitting group tonight. Since the thought strikes fear in the hearts of many I told them that I would cut the first steek there. Now I need to do two sleeves, the button band, and then finis. I guess I am counting my chickens too early though.
I am also starting a self-designed intarsia project. I am thinking of submitting the design to Knitty or such so this is all I will show you:
I have also started a Latvian mitten. The fringe and braids have been a bit of a challenge.
Finally I have finished my Horcrux socks from the Six Socks Knitalong in time for the movie and the new book. My feet shall be toasty warm while I am enjoying my new book.

Yay! Fair Isle! Very pretty!
I work my front bands first, before I cut the steek, so it lines up nice and you can decide where to put the button holes.
Then I work the collar band, and do the sleeves last. Finally, I cut the front steek.
Just a suggestion! :)
Looks like you've been busy! m:)
Oh My Gosh! A knitting group in Grand Rapids? I live in Wyoming, can you tell me about your group?
Hi! I found you through 6SocksKAL.
Latvian mittens, eh?
I did one of the braids from Liz Upitis' book on another project a few months back. At the time, I remember thinking, "ugh, never again" about the yarn twisting. But later, after seeing how nicely it turned out, it didn't seem so arduous and I *did* do another one. A pleasing accomplishment. I hope you enjoy yours too!
Your color knitting is fabulous!
Lovely fair Isle pattern.
And I guess you are wearing your new socks right now with the new HP-book.
Wow!! The Katherine is stunning.
You do beautiful work. Lots of eye candy here.
Gorgeous stuff Lorri!
