Project Spectrum 3 Update

Project Spectrum - FIRE THEME - continues on through February and March.  Here are a couple of things I've been working on with the red/pink/orange theme in mind.

Mim's Seraphim Shawl, which I'm knitting as a gift in a true solid red Silky Wool.  I've finished Chart 1 completely and about to start chart 2. This is going to be a substantial shawl, which the recipient asked for to bundle up on cold mornings while she has her morning tea.  I adore the yarn.  I think this one's gonna be a winner.

(Why yes, thematic red stitch markers!  How nice of you to notice.)

And the reader-poll winner - STR Mustang Sally yarn combined with Nancy Bush's Child's First Sock.

I think the photo pops the purples more than the reds, so it's not exactly true to life.  But either way - I love em so far!

Both of these will get cycled into my WIP list once the other two projects are finished up (hopefully this week!).  I also have another red-themed project that will get rotated in, and that's the Kid Silk Haze scarf I've been working on for eons.  I just need to sit and knit on the lace border and FINISH IT!!!  Enough dragging of the feet.  And since it falls under the fire theme for PS3 right now, there's no time like the present. 

All for now.......
