The big project currently
underway is the Cape Collar Jacket from Vogue Winter 2008. I am working it from Esprit (elann) in wine colour. Unfortunately I find the full bag sale last month indicated a discontinuing of this yarn (one of my favourite cottons). Instead of a swatch, I just started on the sleeve, to check the pattern and gauge. It seems fine, although I may need to increase the cable ribbing pattern along the bottom edge of front and back, since the Esprit yarn stretches and contracts and ribs tightly. I like it since you can get a cotton garment, but not the cotton droop and sag. I will post photos in a few days of work in progress. It will likely be a 2 - 3 week job.

Of course I will be knitting socks, finger puppets, and the steel scarf at the same time....
