What's on my needles: Cabled cardigan for me (The Sweater Sally Knit Instead, by Sally Melville), new cozy for my mp3 player.

I have been concentrating on the cardigan for the past several days. I need to get another pair of socks on the needles, to have a travel project available. I think I'll design another sweet tomato heel pattern. They were quite enjoyable.

I'm listening to tons of older episodes of knitting podcasts. They are invariably women with very calm voices and it's soothing to me.

I want to make a lap afghan for a friend, so I'll be casting that on after I finish this cardigan and Danny's sweater. It will work out nicely. I will be making it out of the Lion Brand Pound of Love, I think because it's soft, washable, and cheap.
