I've finished up the right front for my tweed cardigan and it is now blocking, along with the sleeves that I had finished earlier. I'm a knitter with a mission. I'm not sure when the seaming will start. Clearly it will have to be a quiet evening at home (perhaps with a glass of wine at hand?), and those are going to be few and far between this month. Tomorrow night I have a meeting, Friday is a recruiting dinner, and the weekend is starting to look full. Maybe Thursday if the mood strikes...
In the meantime, I've started a scarf from stash yarn and you can see the beginnings of it in the picture as well. Officially this is the Barclay Scarf from the Jamieson's book Simply Shetland, but it really is just a simple 3 color box stitch. What I love is that the colors complement the tweed Rowan yarn so well. Clearly, I must finish this also for my ski trip so that I can wear the two together. Six inches down, only 84 or so to go, and 17 days and counting. The yarn is some Jo Sharp Classic DK that I got 50% off at last year's Superbowl Sale at Orchardside Yarn Shop. (Which I am unfortunately going to miss this year, due to said ski trip...) But yay! for using up more stash yarn.
the cardi is looking nice. I'd love to see a close up of the scarf to see how the colors play together.

The tweed is lovely. I agree the scarf needs a closeup to see the colors. Like the pattern..nice and open.

The tweed is just great. Can't wait to see it all knitted up.

I can't believe you've nearly finished that sweater already! Be careful of the wine and knitting combo, though.
