Just because I haven't been blogging in a while, that doesn't mean I haven't been knitting. But I guess I don't need to tell you knitters that...
Anyway... The garter stitch jacket I've been working on for a while is almost finished.
It just needs a button band, some buttons, and one more of these:
I've also been working on some seeeecret knitting... Shhhh!
Check these out on Ravelry if you're there.
And what else... Oh, that's right. I've been thinking about hemp yarn for a long time, and I finally got around to ordering some from Titityy. It knits up really nicely, not as strawy as I expected. And it absorbs water really well.
Kitchen towel with stripes in two-color linen stitch. (Sorry about the unevenness... I really couldn't be bothered to iron it!)
Here's a close-up of the stripes. Linen stitch in two colors creates a really nice effect.
Nothing else this time. I do have a million plans for coming knitting projects. But I should really make a serious effort to finish something first! Oh well... Let's see...

Great projects. Especially your garter stitch sweater. Looks cool!!!
The kitchen towel you knit is very beautiful. Your secret knitting looks great!
It's all lovely! Usually I couldn't care less about washcloths, but yours is so very lovely, it looks like a vintage french linen one!
Great projects - I love the kitchen towel. And the garter stitch sweater is very pretty!
The cardigan is looking fantastic... I particularly like the striped sleeves. Did the hemp bother your hands when you worked with it? I've never used hemp, but hated working with linen (but loved the result! What I am to do?)
Your work is amazing! I love the new sweater. I made your fair isle headband. Well didn't finish it yet. It was my first fair isle project and great fun.
