The Point Sweater has become too large for subway knitting, so I've begun the Mystery Beret by Wooly Wormhead to knit on my commute.

Needles: 7 circular
Yarn: Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Forest Heathers
Pattern: Mystery Beret

I like this pattern, simple and quick, easy to pick up and put down, and figure out where I am.

The yarn is a bit scritchy, but maybe it'll soften up after washing.

I have been incredibly busy this season knitting secret gifts, which I've forgotten to photograph. But now, Finally, I can get back to a project I started this fall. Here is the swatch I made for a sweater I'm designing.

It's a cardigan.

It's got a hood.

It will be snuggly and Canadian.

And here it is. I love it. I love having a space where the supplies belong, where I'm not moving aside something else to work. And when it is neat, the office looks like a place where things get done.
