What's on the needles

Finished just in time for my trip to Maine. This is the Soleil top from knitty.com knit with Knitpicks Shine sport. This is the second top I have knit in this pattern. I knit this one in the same size for the bottom half as my previous top but with a smaller size for the bust. I found the cotton tends to stretch out as it relaxes and the other top was getting too loose. My sister may be getting another sweater. Half of the sweaters I knit end up too big and she is the lucky recipient of most of them.

For the trip I have several knitting projects to take along.
A second sock to finish. These are the Embossed leaves from Interweave Winter 2005, you can also find this pattern here. I wanted a thinner weight sock. So I am using two strands of Knitpicks Shadow. It is a very nice feeling sock.

This is Priscilla Gibson Roberts Colorado Cashmere Whimple from the book America Knits. I am knitting it with two strands of Knitpicks Shadow also.

And last but not least the Nantucket Jacket from Interweave knits Winter 2006. Knit with Knitpicks Swish Superwash in Indigo heather. This yarn is so soft. I love the new heathered colors Knitpicks has added to several of their lines.
