When my friend noticed the lady is pregnant, she offered (through an interpreter, because my friend does not speak Spanish, despite being a native Texan and Dallasite!) to knit something, and the lady asked for a sweater, which my friend does not do. So my friend offered a blanket and booties. When I heard this, I thought that I'd knit a sweater, especially to try a pattern. The teddy bear buttons make it supercute. The cleaning lady chose the colour because she doesn't know if it is a boy or girl. They don't know it's coming - the sweater, I mean!

This is the Yoked Cardigan and I may knit an adult size for me. |
Next, my current carry-around hat, a simple 3x3 rib in leftover chunky superwash yarns:

I knit the first row when I changed colours, to smooth out the transitions. 3 rows each. |
And the second strip for an afghan, probably a donation to Warm Up, America!
That may not look like a small thing, but there wasn't much left to finish on the second strip.
I started the shawl I am planning to wear in Paris in May:
It's the Tour Eiffel Shawl out of a miniskeins pack from Destination Yarns of their multicoloured "Paris" colourways. There isn't enough yarn for the full shawl, so I will do as much as I can. Maybe in Paris I will buy enough yarn for the whole shawl. The pattern requires attention so it's not something I can carry around, at least not yet. I'll see once I get past the startup section.
