Stash Pile Knitting

I raided my and my mother’s stash piles for some recent knitting projects.

I finished what I’m calling the butterfly sweater for my daughter-in –law. The original pattern called for a front panel that we decided we didn’t like so she’s using a shawl pin to close it. 

It’s definitely not something to wear when feeding blackberries to Meira. 

I’ve been on a cowl/neckwarmer kick. I’ve made four easy ones –one for Marina,  the Tangerine Tango designer, one for me,  and one for each of my sons. 

I’m now working on two more for me, one easy in a slanted -loop stitch and the other more complicated in a seashell pattern. 

Lydia wanted a large infinity scarf that would wrap around two or three times but I figured it would be spring before I finished it, so we found one at the mall.

I have a magenta cable pullover waiting for its front and sleeves, and some green yarn seeking a pattern. There’s a needlepoint pillow kit hidden in the back of my project cupboard to tackle– all in good time!
