Material Girl is technically finished, but I still need to weave in the ends and block the pair. I have almost finished the first pair of Nisseet, and hope to have them ready for you soon. Rich and I have been on a work trip, and Nisseet was my main knitting while we were away.

There has been hardly any progress on Qidyssat Katrin, and my vintage blouse is moving, but it is slow going. I've had to redo each section of the cuff on the first sleeve multiple times. I'm finally on the smocking for the sleeve, and hope to be able to keep going without going back from here on out.

This is my next project on the docket, though it doesn't look like much. I hope to have Warda ready for beta knitting in time for Mother's Day, so watch this space for announcements regarding that (or better, subscribe to my newsletter below for the first notice). It will be a quick knit, using laceweight yarn to make a lovely card you can give to the mothers in your life, or for a friend's birthday.

I've only opened Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge once in the last week, ditto for Garden of Truth. A few nights, I have been able to peek into Mrs. Pollifax on the China Station, though.
