This project was so secret I forgot to post about it. I think it is safe now, as the wedding was about a month ago. I made a square from the Great American Afghan book for a wedding afghan for a colleague I met at the LYS. Of course they knew I would pick this one! Cascade 220. It was interesting going entrelac with cables and garter stitch.
I was thinking about what to photograph for my E photo for the ABC Along. After a few hours of drawing a blank, Entrelac popped into my head. Since I learned how to do entrelac, I have made scarves, a Christmas stocking, a seemingly HUGE baby blankie, (LOTS of pics here.) a vest, and socks. I go through periods where entrelac is all I want to do, and, as in the case of my sister's scarf, not feel like working on it for months. I have done a few rows lately. This scarf is in Noro Silk Garden 251 from Knitch, purchased during the Yarn Harlot event, and is Allison's pattern.
I got my Hot Cocoa Swap package today, from Nelda the Knitting Nurse! It was full of chocolate and goodies, including the cutest little knit kitty-cat. There is Bellagio hot cocoa, bittersweet and mint, too. Also a mug in the center of the photo, with hearts and a red inside. We sampled the chocolate, and might have hot cocoa and Outrageous chocolate covered marshmallows later. The yarn is from Yarn Oddity, by Ms. Pixie Riot "The Birds will Still be Singing."

Look at the stitch markers!
I also finished one of my Annetrelac socks the other day, when I needed a break after finishing the back of CPH, blocking here:
The sock, in Thank Ewe sock yarn colorway Winter Chill, posed with the daffodils. I think the camera focused on the daffodils, but this was still the best shot.
Closeup of entrelac to make up for blurriness:
Well. I mostly followed the pattern. Except for the heel (short row on the pattern) and the colors and the colorwork on the foot, hee hee! It was nice to be able to practice entrelac in the round in worsted before I try it in sock yarn. This is all Cascade 220 from stash. DH says it's a rasta stocking, mon.
This is the beginning of the Entrelac Stocking from Debbi Young. The entrelac is done in the round, then stitches are picked up at top and bottom and continued. 
I went back to the doctor today, as I still have a cough and congestion, etc. He gave me an antibiotic prescription for respiratory tract crud- 5 pills for $30. I might have gotten more done on the blue cardi, but I was distracted by the stocking and Nora, the Piano Playing Cat. DH says I am easily amused. Apparently I missed all the media hoopla about Nora, my sister e-mailed me about it.
OK, here is what the rest of my Kureyon/Boku scarf looks like. I immediately cast on for another one in Silk Garden 251 that my sister bought for herself, for me to knit, at Knitch in Atlanta. Click for larger.
I started this scarf in June-right before I taught a class in entrelac. I finished a store sample scarf and a baby afghan in entrelac along the way. Today it is my scarf's turn. It is made from 2 skeins of Kureyon, 170 and 92, and 2 skeins of Plymouth Boku in 1 and 10, I think. This is the best I can do until tomorrow and daylight. Pattern is from Freckles & Purls.
It is almost pleasant outside in the shade as the sun is going down. Here is the Saturday sky from my often-used sky spot.
I have been working on the entrelac scarf again, as it is cool enough in the AC. I am on the third skein, Plymouth Boku color 1. The center is Kureyon 170 and the other end is Boku 4, I think.
I looked down when I was photographing the scarf, and Honey was sitting beside me looking toward the scarf. Of course, then I couldn't get her to pose again. She tried to hide behind my legs when DH was rinsing his truck with the hose.
I have been concentrating on the Snug as a Bug entrelac blankie for the past week or so. This is 15 tiers. I need to make two more. Then I can...start a new project, or work on poor lil Ariann
I picked up a new sock yarn at Knit Night at the Taming of the Ewe last night. The rest of the evening, I worked on the entrelac baby blankie and tried to convince everyone around me that doing entrelac is not complicated.
This is Kollage Luscious cotton yarn in Island Birds. More info here.
I also worked on the entrelac scarf. Looks a little blurry, but the colors are what's important here. Plymouth Boku 4 and Kureyon 170. I ignored the two socks.
Knitting going on, that is. I have felt guilty about not working on the entrelac blankie.Since the Rocketry cardi and cotton bibs are done and mailed, I went back to this halfway done afghan. Snug as a Bug, in Kertzer Kool Kotton (50/50 cotton and acrylic)
