A quick knitting catch up

I haven't really done much this week.  Late in from work and then I start pottering...

I've been workng on Madrigal in the little time I've had to knit.  I've nearly reached the bit where I join fronts and back and work the rest of the body. Sounds impressive, but it's a deep scoop neck, so there's very little kntting on the fronts, to the armholes.

As usual, there's a lack of light in these wet, gloomy mornings.  

See how skinny these fronts are?

Over the weekend I did a little bit of crochet, too.  I prefer doing a batch of circles, then joining them all together.  Sunday I did 24 little circles:

Then we have 24 two colour circles:

And 24 three-colour circles:

Then we have the lemon round.  I have lots to go:

A bit scrappy, but I'm sure when it's blocked a bit it will look ok!

 

Mr C is on his own this weekend.  I'm off to visit the family and think I may have over-estimated the amoutn of knitting time I shall have. 

I have Different Lines shawl, with rather a lot of yarn to go.,

I have plain men's socks, with just aobut four inches knitted.

And I have my red cardigan, taking down four balls of Rowan's Handknit DK.    Should hae enough to keep me occupied over one weekend!

I always end up packing WAY more knitting than I could ever accomplish even if the trip were quadrupled in length. So I call it my comfort knitting - it's there to calm my nerves because it's much worse to not bring enough knitting.
