I bought some new yarn.

It is a nice change after all the red.  I would probably knit blue only if I let myself.

And cast on another one of these

The new yarn is fingering weight while the original is in sport weight but I got gauge so I am knitting it anyway, the fabric is coming out drapier which feels great too.

I have already started grading the pattern. My first attempt at grading a garment, because it is about time. I am terrified but I am pretty certain I will find a way without tearing all my hair out.

I am still working on the blanket

It is nice autopilot knitting, all garter stitch, but because of the colors changing I still don’t feel like poking my eyes out with a sharp object, which is really dangerous for knitters because we have lots of sharp objects lying around.

I have also signed up for the 3rd Annual Knitting and Crochet Blog Week, to be held between the 23rd-29th of April 2012, organized by Eskimimimakes.  Basically, everyday has a different topic which you should blog about, they all seem like great fun.  There are prizes too.  But I am just doing it for the fun of it and to stretch my blogging muscles a bit. Check it out, it looks like a lot of fun.

So what are you guys upto?
