Nothing changed this week. I made a little more progress on my tee, but not much. Tournament 11 of Nerd Wars: Geek Noosphere starts tomorrow -- well, actually tonight at midnight GMT -- and I will get started on Alexis' blanket then.

Yarn Report -- Week 21
The Catch the Wave Tee is progressing very slowly; I just haven't been in a knitting mood this week. Here's the progress so far:
Tournament 11 of Nerd Wars: Geek Noosphere starts on June 1. My granddaughter, Alexis, asked me to make her a blanket, so I'm going to do that for my dissertation. I'm going to use two yarns held together -- the Cotton-ish she picked out several months ago, and Paton's Lace that I just bought. I was concerned that the Cotton-ish by itself would not be warm at all, but the Lace has 10% mohair and 10% wool, and will make the blanket thicker and warmer.

Yarn Report -- Week 18
I finished my Central Park Hoodie just in time for last week's Yarn Report. We had a few days of cool weather this week, so I got to wear it -- and I love it! The fit is perfect, and the yarn is not scratchy at all. I think this is my favorite thing I've made for myself!

This morning I went to Jo-Ann's and bought 5 skeins of Cotton-ish in the Jade Jersey color for my next project, the Catch the Wave Tee. I have two other winter cardigans in progress, but wanted to do something light and summery first.
