What I'm Making Now

First of all, I don't know what's up with my old photos. I may be switching host sites soon.

Second of all, it's been awhile! I have a lot to catch up on, but I'm going to start off with what's going on right this second. My husband and I both came down with a nasty cold/flu/fever thing this weekend, so we're not doing much other than lounging on the couch and listening to the rain. I don't like working on gift projects while I'm sick, so I'm crocheting for me. A co-worker gave me some yarn for my birthday, and now I'm making a sweater.

Lion Brand requires a login for their patterns, but it's free and I highly recommend their database as well as their iPhone app. I'm making this in Homespun "Marble" which the site describes as a painterly (striped) cream with light orange and taupe. I can't wait to post the finished product, and I'm looking forward to being quite comfy in those generous bell sleeves.

While browsing for that pattern, I came across this beauty. It just might be worth digging out the knitting needles for, in spite of the intimidating "experienced" skill level.
