sophy's knits, notes, etc.

this has been a productive knitting week and my blocking board is covered with projects. this morning, i wound up a second skein of Noro Cash Iroha for a spiral cowl i'm making:

i absolutely love the color match with the fruit!

i am very happy to be using up more of my stash. this yarn is part of a bunch that i bought a few months back during a neighborhood-wide yard sale. now, the only question is: do i want to keep this for myself or add it to my holiday gift pile? it'll be a tough decision -- i love how it looks so far.

i promised two little girls i would knit them each a poncho. what do you think of Teva Durham's fair isle hooded capelet? [on ravelry]

although i am trying to knit from my stash, i don't have any suitable yarn for this (laceweight is not ideal for quick knits here.) who's up for some yarn shopping and tea, tomorrow?!
