Inching along

I have three projects that I am currently working on, none of which I am in any hurry to complete. One, a pair of socks in a German wool blend. Two, a darling little bag in the Tilli Tomas silk/beaded yarn. A little trying as the beads don't co-operate with my usual method of winding yarn around my fingers for tension. Third, cast on yesterday for the Immeritus Knit Along, Hermione's Hat, which I am making in the good ol' Lion Wool-Ease Worsted. Since I'm trying out cables, I figured I go with an inexpensive yarn so if things go south I won't tear my hair out over the expense. I feel more confident about my abilities to do the other two, therefore, I am not freaking out over cost...

I've just been carrying them along with my in my Getty tote bag - great for visiting friends, and just sitting and chatting. Of course, I can't do that with anything complicated like the lace scarf in hibernation... At least I am being somewhat productive. And I have a request for the lacy Louisa Harding gauntlets that I'd made for myself - a friend wants a pair in black as well, but I think I'll do mohair for her - she has little hands and it will look cute...
