This morning was a foggy, misty, chilly morning so I got to wear my PULL PONCHO. It was all about Ponchos in the Mist, my friends! I felt the need to share because it gives me a kick when an ideal weather moment occurs for wearing my knits.

And that is all.

Just kidding. There's more. I've been finishing up my Salina! Thankfully, without incident. I sincerely thought that after my severe case of bonehead-itis with my Kid Mohair cardi I'd have a couple of bonehead moments or, at least, a finishing stumbling block with Salina. Alas, Salina is a good girl. And that's why I am showing her moss stitch neckband bathing in its own ray of sunshine:




And because I'm on a roll, I knit the moss stitch cuffs and am on my way to sewing them:




Take note, Salina knitters! If you want to wear the sleeves the way the model wears them in Vintage Style, you will need to fold them up. Otherwise, they will reach slightly past your wrists. Which is a good length, but not the length shown as photographed. I like the way the model is wearing them so I am REVERSING the cuff seam so I can fold them up. And that's the end of my two cents re the Salina cuffs.

In other news, I've got a knitting confession: I am disappointed that I did not finish my son's ribbed jacket by Easter. Unfortunately, my finishing nightmare with my mohair cardi and the birth of all these babies in the family (yep, knitting some baby things - will show later) really slowed my knitting schedule down. So, my son will probably wear the Boyish Jacket I knit for him in fall or his store bought [GASP!] raincoat. Although, to be honest, I would have preferred that he wear the cotton ribbed jacket I'm knitting now. 'Tis okay. I will console myself by eating all these candies my Dad sent me. [Now he REALLY deserves a knitted vest.] Next year I will start my son's Easter knit earlier and I will try to avoid boneheaded moments with knits that might possibly cause my scheduled knitting time to slow up.
