I've been working away on the Kauni cardigan. I finished the main section of the body, and am ready to start the sleeves. The pattern looks to me like it would be easier to work the sleeves with the steeking sewn and cut, but since I don't have my sewing machine up and running at the moment (it's under a whole lot of boxes at the back of the craft room) its going to have to wait.
In the meantime I'm doing the NaKniSweMoNo09 - that's the National Knit a Sweater in the Month of November 2009. I've chosen Anhinga by Norah Gaughan, knitted in Adagio by Skacel in the Mulberry shade. This yarn has a beautiful drape, perfect for the pattern. I've finished the back and most of the first of the three front sections, so I'm feeling fairly confident I'll finish all of it by the end of the month.
I've been so negligent in keeping up with the postings during this reno, I've got lots to show you:
the cabinets during installation...
with handles installed...
after the electricians came to visit...
the bathroom, unfinished...
a laundry-to-be...
Ooooooo!!!!!! Washing machine!
RUNNING WATER!!!! Hooray!
and some very lovely lamps...
sadly, still no stove...
Even without the stove, the kitchen space is functional and I'm happily settling in and unpacking. Next up is the re-finishing of the floors on the second level and an awful lot of painting.
It's staggering to think we started this back in June - six months ago!
Here's a very, very old music video...
