I'm knitting as fast as I can

I've finished the cross stitch for my mother in law PHEW!!! Now it's off to the framers and I can get back to my knitting. Here's a detail: It's Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino in a cable and column pattern that I composed on the fly using my big book of knitting stitch patterns.

I'm off to my LYS' knitting retreat this weekend and there should be lots of knitting hours so I'm feeling confident about my ISE4 scarf. I'm half way into the second ball of three and I'm pretty sure that I'll have it all but done by the time I get home. Fingers crossed!!!
