Tam Tam..

So my project monogamy has failed... I have cast on this...  An Irish Aran Tam made knit with a fisherman's wool my grandmother brought back from Scotland 30+ years ago. I made her a sweater for her birthday last year with this same yarn, and the Tam is to go with it for Mother's Day. I do not have pictures of the sweater and when I do get them I will tell you the story of the commissioning and accomplishing of said sweater. But that is a story for another day. I am enjoying the Tam ( pattern found at Ravelry) but fear it will be put aside as once I reach row 24 I will need to switch to a set of dpns which I am sorely lacking. I have none, any any size and find that I need them desperately if I am to branch out of my sweater scarf and shawl world and start making socks and cute baby booties and what-nots that require the tiniest of needles, pointed at both ends and flocking in packs of 4-5.  Meanwhile, the Cardi continues... Front, back, and full fold out RS facing respectively. I have really enjoyed this pattern though it took so finagling to figure it out around the neck shaping for the right and left sides. But I think I got it now. I am on sleeve1 and praying once it is done I will not be hit with SSS (Second Sleeve Syndrome) and be able to finish this is in a timely manner. At least before the child it's intended for out grows it. There is still the sleev and a half to finish then the collar the making up and the blocking though I am not entirely sure which to do first the making or the blocking. The pattern can be found at here the Knit Jacket & Hat. I am still trying to figure out how to work the pics and text layout on this here bloggin' thingie.. Hopefully I will have it figured soon. TTFN
