Oooh, addiction

While I can still knit on my smaller gauge WIPs, my hand starts to hurt after awhile.  So after my recent finger surgery I pulled out my Colinette Absolutely Fabulous afghan kit and boy, is it addicting!

Here's where you last saw it: http://beckyanddaniel.com/knitting/2006/02/knitting_olympics_day_1.html

And now:

I'm past the first full repeat of which there are 3, and all I can say is the yarns are gorgeous!  This kit was a special present, and so I tend to look at it as a project that I savor and work on only a little bit at a time.  Thus, I probably won't finish it anytime soon, but I am definitely enjoying every stitch I knit on it.

I got a new splint on my finger, and I am back to being able to knit small gauge items again, so this afghan will probably go back on hold for awhile.  I need to get cranking on the Dale baby dress again as the baby is due in January, and there may be a shower before then.  Progress pics of the dress soon.
