This week I alternated between my Big Easy cardi which is turning out to be one of the easiest adult items I've ever knit. Here it is minus the the left sleeve. Since it's knit side to side I can get a pretty good idea of how it's going to look very early in the process. I think I love it. The yarn is soft and the color is so soothing. I'm imagining the big funky buttons I'm going to have to find for this. I should start hunting now - it's almost done.
My other project was a tiny (6mos) tee in plain pink acrylic worsted - made to donate. But isn't it the sweetest little tee? Can't you see it layered over, well, almost anything? Spring is coming! The pattern is also incredibly easy: the Telemark Pullover. Top down, four ends to weave in when you've completed the sleeves, and you're done. I modified the original pattern by making the sleeves short. And I can see a whole lot of other possibilities. This is the best kind of pattern - a jumping-off place for all sorts of playing with design.
Not too many finished pieces to report but I think it was a successful knitting week. Wonder what's in store for the next seven days?

Those are both cute. I love the colour of the adult sweater.
I'm lovin' both of these projects!! The blue is so beautiful... a nice soothing color of yarn therapy! ;) Love that little tee, too! Very versatile! blessings ~ tanna
These are both great. Lovely colours.
Pretty amazing to knit a sweater side to side like this. I think I'm going to have to google that pattern and see if I can find it. I'd love to try it.
I like that sideways cardi a lot!
Your stash must be almost non-existent now?
The little pink sweater is adorable, whatever little girl gets it will be a lucky one.
I've knit in meetings, but I think that if the powers that be are rude enough to make the nightshift go in on their time off, then they have to put up with how I cope with that mandate.
I love your Big Easy cardi and that pink sweater is adorable.
