The Colorful Yoke Sweater, other projects and opera

This is the colorful yoke sweater that took me very long to make.  It came out well. Now, I must weave in the ends in the underside and stitch the holes near the underarm seams closed. As soon as I do that, I will send the sweater to my brother in Arizona. I hope he likes it. 

Next is the navy blue sweater I made for a friend of my mentor.  My mentor's friend died.  He'd wanted me to make a hat and scarf for him.  It was my bright idea to knit him a sweater that I would wear. I suppose I should still knit a hat and a scarf for him. The navy blue sweataer has cable throughout.  I have made the back and the sleeves. The front of the navy blue sweater still needs to be completed.

The sock is a problem.  I can purchase the dpns size #1 to complete the socks.  I will need more yarn.  Will the store have the yarn I need or should I find a brighter yarn with which to remake the first sock and then knit the second?

Then there is the Kaffe Fassett designed sweater for my cousin. I suppose I should work on it before the navy sweater, which I cannot find right now.

Decisions, decisions.

Ah, the mellowess and expressiveness of the human voice. I am listening to the aria largo performed by Kathleen Battle on on the Baroque Duet album on iTunes. I enjoy the human voice and, by extension, opera.  I am reading Crescendo, the magazine put out by the Santa Fe Opera. What a wonderful way to while away the hours.
