Craft On: Whoa, We're Halfway There (More than Halfway!)
I'm more than halfway through with my cropped sweater design and hoping that Imbat will be ready for beta knitting soon. We've had a lot going on in our family for the past month or so, and everything is taking a little longer than I really wished. However, I think I can get the rest of this knit up enough to send the pattern and photography to my technical editor in two to three weeks. I'm really happy with how it is turning out, and the colorway makes me so happy. It isn't a complicated knit, but fun to make. It is mostly made in the round, with minimal sewing, and with a square neck and deep ribbing. If you are interested in the beta knit, please let me know, or subscribe to my newsletter (link below), so you can be informed as soon as it is ready.
In other news, I have finally published both the Marine Layer Scarf and Marine Layer Cowl and individual pattern downloads on PayHip (Cowl and Scarf), LoveCrafts (Cowl and Scarf), and Ravelry (Cowl and Scarf). If you want to pick them up for a bargain, you can use the coupon code BlogMarine on either PayHip or Ravelry for 25% off either or both of them. LoveCrafts does not allow coupon codes.
We have started Anne of Ingleside as a family and are enjoying Anne as a grown woman. Desert Queen is still waiting to be finished on my nightstand, unfortunately. I've been worn down and having a hard time reading anything at night, which is when I normally read my own books.
Linking to Unraveled Wednesday.

I am a participant in the Amazon Affiliates program, so the book links you see here have the potential to net me a few pennies a month.
