Dear Jan,
Without disclosing too much, I had to share a bit of the mystery knit I’ve been working on. It would be hard to tell what the pattern is from this, wouldn’t it? But you should be able to see how dreamy the fabric is, which makes this intense knitting session quite enjoyable (though I will still have Santas decorating my mantel in the middle of February, I’m quite sure, for all the attention I’m not giving anything else).
You’ll find the only other knitting I have going right now a bit less mysterious - classic Argyle socks for the Master Knitter Level II course. Lisa and I do a little bit on our portfolio of projects every week. I’ve already made a mistake - didn’t cross the colors where two of the diamonds meet - so this will likely be the practice sock and I’ll send its mate in for judging.
The Poison Pawn wasn’t too sure she liked the title above, but I assure you, no kiddens were injured in the making of this post.
Love,
Ellen

We never have problems letting cats out of bags. It’s letting cats /into/ bags that’s the trouble…

How about dogs in bags? Ruby dug out my tootsie roll stash the other day…fortunately she didn’t seem to care for them. I imagine she would love to see if she could fit in the bag with Poison.
LOVE the color and fabric of the mystery knit. And one day I’ll finish my Level I and then see if I can follow your footsteps for Level II.

You know me…lovely fabric turns my head in whiplash fashion.

Great looking Argyle sock! And like Knitnana above, I too would love to know what the Pucci-esque background fabric is.

That is a gorgeous fuzzy whatever-it-is you’ve got there! I can see how you’re managing to stay motivated through your marathon. I’m also impressed that you’re continuing to move through your MK assignments - you are good! Also - great cat photo.
