Sound like anyone I know?...

Those born on Feb 13th are energetic & spontaneous individuals who seek out excitement. They tend to be spirited & uninhibited, sharing every thought and emotion with those around them. They can be very frank and blunt with their personal observations.
Well someone thinks a lot about me! This is what it says on the keychain Mom gave me for my day. Wow, 4 again. I like 4; it's a decent age. I can act goofy and silly and get away with giggling uncontrolably... Yep, 4's a good age to be.
In more knitterly content: my capelet was a success at the ceili. Even pinned my hair up to show off all the details. Am currently back working at Sarah's baby's sweater. Going real well; am onto the body already.
Stumped on what to knit for Bernie this year. Have been going through the books and mags but nothing's jumping out. May have to resort to socks for everyone again...

Detail: Sheep Closure (big surprise)

Ta-da! Here's the top shot. Literally. My neck must be wider than others' as wouldn't look right to put loop on 2nd set as planned. Now am ready for the ceili! And my birthday!

Detail: Loopy Cable

This cable from Alice Starmore's St Ciaran shawl made a neat bridge between the gore sections. I mirrored it on each side of the center gore.

Detail: Center back

This knot is from Elsebeth Lavold's 2nd book of viking patterns. She called the sweater Trud. I thought it was different looking.

Ireland is back in Mosaic!!! Help me pick my project!

For those not from Regina, Mosaic is our annual multicultural festival, held the first weekend of June. The Irish pavilion took last year off to rest and regroup but we're all fired up about 2009! I'm heading up displays, as is usual. One of the things I do every year as part of the displays is to act as a living display and knit something "Irish" during the 3 days of the festival. I've done a toddler sized Aran sweater, an Aran-"fleeced" sheep (Sam the Ram; pattern from Three Kittens Yarn Shop in St. Paul, MN)... So am wanting to get some feedback on what I should go for this year. I don't like too large a project as I do have to set it down to go and dance (Prairie Gael School of Irish Dance Adult Advanced class), and also get up and answer questions about the various display items... I pride myself on knowing little tidbits about each and every item I put on display. So start suggesting things; my needles are waiting to fly!
