I need to pick a new project.

So much fabric, so many patterns, so little time!
A dress would be nice.
In the meantime, I have been hand-knitting.
At right my "Golden Cowl" made in an extremely skinny 100% silk yarn from my favourite on-line yarn purveyor, ColourMart.
The pattern is Bonny.
Almost done. I knitted up the back first, saving the best for last.
I wanted to make this on my knitting machine but the yarn kept breaking. I think I will try it again with wool, which has more "bounce" and more tensile strength.

I've branched out into colour/pattern in socks.
Although these look complicated, they are actually pretty easy to knit.
Watch out world, for more loud socks from The Sewing Lawyer!

At least I have a colour-coordinated chair for background.
And finally, I'm gearing up for a very patterned sweater, also on the knitting machine. Unlike my sock (slip pattern, only one colour per row), this is stranded (two colours per row).
I made this sample. I love it!
