I have finished the cowl for Middle. I really like how it turned out, and I like how soft it is. I'm going to offer it as an early Christmas present, since she might like to have it because it's cold in Chicago.
Here it is in the bath, getting ready to block. I'll grab a FO picture soon. Maybe Smallest can model it for me.
Now that I've finished the cowl, I've started on two more projects. One is a wrap for my mother-in-law, and one is the hat requested by my younger step daughter. The wrap is the Little Moons Lace pattern from Purl Soho, and the hat is Turn a Square from Brooklyn Tweed. I'm using Malabrido Fino from my stash for the wrap and bought a skein of Malabrigo Rios in Valentina for the hat. She wanted a soft pink hat. I'm not putting in stripes, it will be all one color. She wants a plain hat, so this should do the trick.
I cast on the hat last night and promptly messed up the tubular cast on. Not sure what I did, but I did more unknitting (only three rows) and reknitting and now all is well. Here's the progress so far. Not much, but hats are quick!
My little yarn bag is just the right size for the project, and since I went to Rice University, I like things with owls on them (our mascot). It's a Binkwaffle bag. I think I got it at a yarn shop in New Braunfels? Lucky Ewe Yarns! I remembered.
Other than that, there's a scarf and a little sweater on my list of things to get done. We'll see how it all works out!
