I finished my orchid silk sweater:
Detail of the yoke
And the Dilemma Dress: I think it looks like I skinned a Muppet, but I can't wait until I have a reason to wear it. Also - YIKES, Stripes! It doesn't look this stripy in person - probably because of the fuzziness of the mohair.
I am also very pleased that both of these were made with yarn I purchased without a purpose. I'm actually enjoying watching the numbers change. I think I need to save some money for a cedar closet for my knitted things. Omaha is home to Nebraska Furniture Mart - which has to be the largest furniture store I have ever been in. They have a cedar closet I like, unfortunately it seems quite expensive to my thrifty taste. However, it could go on sale this fall/winter. I hope.
I have started one of the Philosopher's Wool sweaters I stashed. Another Tradition, this one in reds, yellow and black. I still love this pattern and this yarn. I am however attempting to work this one using EZ's EPS instructions. I hope it works out. It seemed so simple this time. It isn't the first I've done so it may be familiarity making it seem not so scary as the first time. Any time something seems too easy I worry a little.

Very nice. And the colors!! Who would have guessed you would do something in those colors?? So proud of you, even though I likely had nothing to do with your many talents!
Love-
Thanks Mom
