On the way to the airport, I bound off the Rose Red beret, a Ysolda pattern.
I used Valley Yarns Deerfield, an alpaca and silk blend in a DK weight.
This yarn is very inexpensive, but feels like a treat. Ysolda, of course, has beautiful designs that are fun to knit. A combination of lace and cables = perfect.

I finished Little A's second February Baby Sweater. It is pretty stinking cute on her.
I lovelovelove this Elizabeth Zimmermann pattern. It's zippy fast, practical and beautiful. I used Valley Yarns Superwash in the teal colorway. I think the bright orange buttons take a sweet, classic sweater and make it just a teeny bit edgy.

Then I cast on a Shawl Collared Cowl for my mom using Cascade Yarns Baby Alpaca Chunky.
I'm not quite decided on this one yet. It seems like there needs to be a button to keep the bottom layer more stable. If I had a coat on over it, maybe that would keep it in place better. I have some yarn to make myself one.

I've finished a couple other things since we got home, but I'm still slogging away on my February Lady Sweater.
How wrong would it be to cast on another sweater before I finish this one?
