In Vegas!

Well - I may be in Vegas this week (for a conference for work) but I won't abandon you! We got here yesterday, and last night, went to see the show Zoomanity - which was awesome. The conference starts today - so I'll have to start doing some work soon. But not for a few more hours, so I'm sitting on a patio enjoying a view of the pool, and knitting.

Today, let me show you the next projects in my line up! If you remember, last year at this same conference, I pretty much knit my entire Samus sweater. I don't feel like lugging around such a big project, so I'm bringing 3 smaller projects:


Top left is another Opprtuna... this one is for my baby stash. On the top right, the Hanna kit that Susan gave me for my birthday, and finally, a pair of mittens - the Nordic mittens from IK Winter 2004.

Since I took that picture, I've worked a lot on the scarf... what a fun pattern to knit - and easy to remember once you do a few rows. Although, it's taken me about 4 hours of knitting to get an inch done... I'm working it on size 1 needles! My current poolside knitting is the Nordic mittens - I just cast on and am starting the corrugated rib. Since this pattern has a big chart and everything, I'm saving it for the times when I'm sitting on my own passing the time. During the sessions, I'll pull out the baby sweater.

Tomorrow - more news from Vegas, and pictures from the baby shower I went to on Saturday.
