Well, I've gone and committed to something I needed to do anyway; it's just more fun to do it with friends—I've joined a Stash-a-long, with the intention of knitting from the stash for an initial period of three months. My apologies in advance to my friends who own local yarn shops, but as you can tell from the photo, if I don't do something my cubes are going to collapse. That's not parallax (a distortion caused by the camera lens)—that's an honest-to-goodness bow in the side of the cubes. And the bottom is already falling out of one of the center cubes.


I completed an Irish Cables bag from Vicki Square's wonderful Folk Bags book, and a pair of Garden Mitts from Louisa Harding's The Accessories Collection over the Christmas holidays. I'm on the last sleeve of a baby bolero from Lee Radford's One Skein book, so I have a good start!
