Sahara Progress - Old FOs, New Pics - New Project

Here's a quick pic of my two-tone shrug with my turtleneck tube vest. Please excuse the wacky pose - it was late at night and I was in a s.i.l.l.y. mood. I think the Fitted Knits book is spectacular. So much so, that I've started casting on for a new project....



Here is my very early start to the Bold and Bulky Mini Cardi. I'm using the leftover Lamb's Pride that I used for the Winter Capelet I made my Sister and stash yarn that I purchased almost two years ago in Vermont. I like how the muted colors work together. I'll have to figure out what buttons I'll go for once I've made decent progress.





Finally, my Sahara progress. I'm digging the texture and the color. I went to the Bonita Knitting store last night for a knitting group. It was really nice. I did see some pre-beaded yarn that has me thinking about whether or not I'll spend the extra cash for it, or do it myself. Even though I'm not much of a multi-project person, I'm feeling pretty good about what I'm working on. I know that I need to pick my NSSC back up, but since the project is on hold in order to do another Wendy Bernard pattern, it's not really cheating...right? lol
