No pictures today, because I am still trying to figure out how to make them flow with the layout of blogger. I'll get there, but I am new to html and blogging, so it may take awhile.
Work on MS3 continues. I should be starting Clue 4 tomorrow. Clapotis also has grown. I'm to the straight rows, and dropping the stiches just makes me giddy. I haven't cast on for ZEN's tulip sweater yet, I need to rework the pattern for a larger size. I did cast on for the second sock for Husband's Christmas socks, and I casted on for my father's birthday socks. No update on the Annie Modesitt lace scarf or the Koigu Feather and Fan scarf.
A friend of mine has a lovely, wonderful, vibrant niece who has cancer - it is not breast cancer - I think it is non-hodgkins lymphoma, but I could be wrong on that. I am working on Shedir for her. I played with the yarn and needle size, so it may have to end up being a lightly felted Shedir. I am hoping to finish it fairly soon. Her hair is gone, but her spirits are high. Please think good thoughts for her and her family.
And finally, I was directed to a podcast that is new to me - We're Almost There - it is hosted by Wendy and Marty. They have been podcasting since October of 2006, so I will have to go back and listen to the older podcasts. However, their most recent entry points you to a blog that everyone should take time to view. I'll leave it at that - just go listen to the podcast to find out more and if you are in need of a serious dose of perspective. You can find it here:

Works in Progress
I'm continuing work on the following:
1. Mystery Stole 3. I am through Clue 2, and about one-fourth through Clue 3. I have decided to shorten my stole, because it will be a gift for a dear friend who just turned 50. She is shorter than 5 feet, though, so I think shortening it will be the best choice. I hope to be into Clue 4 by next Friday's Clue.
2. Clapotis. I am working on Clapotis as part of the Knitty KAL. http://knittyk-a-l.blogspot.com/
I am making Clapotis from Makalu Yarns Lambgora, (80% Lambswool, 10% Cashmere, 10% Angora). I feel like I might be the last person to cast on Clapotis. It has been an enjoyable project, though, and a rare item that I am knitting for myself. I am aiming to complete it by Christmas time, but would be thrilled if I finished it in time for the fall.
3. Koigu Feather and Fan. My mother-in-law saw a feather-and-fan scarf made from Koigu at a LYS. She fell in love with it, so I am working on one for her. I hope to finish it by her birthday in September.
4. Annie Modesitt Lace Scarf. I took a workshop with Annie Modesitt last fall, and this lovely scarf has stalled on my needles. I am trying to pick it up and complete a few rows each week. I really love the project, so I am not sure what holds me back from finishing! I am making it from Classic Elite Post, a 30% Cashmere, 70% Silk blend. It has been an absolute joy to knit with!
Sadly, there are many other things on the needles, but these are the most pressing, I suppose. I am really trying to keep myself from casting on, even though I did have a productive weekend of finishing!
