Knitting, Sewing and Other Fun Things
Tags  

So the last time I posted I mentioned that I would post some of the projects I've been working on. Since I couldn't log on all week I'm going to do it today instead.

This is my Clapotis, I used Noro Silk Garden in Color 247. I love these colors, I originally bought this for some long gauntlets but realized that they would be very impractical. So the yarn has been sitting in the stash for a few months. It is a good thing that dye lots don't matter with this yarn because I've had to order it three times from different stores! It is finished now and I'm actually wearing it while I type this.

This is the order I placed from Knit HappensThey were having an insane sale. By the time I got there all of the really popular stuff had sold out so I decided to get some Nashua Creative Focus worsted in Cayenne and some Atacama. These will make two sweaters for next fall. I thought it was so cool that it came in one of the store bags. I'm such a sucker for those types of things.

This was the beginning of my Pomatomus socks with gratuitous puppy shot. I've ripped them out because I had made a few mistakes and I couldn't find my place in the pattern anymore. I'll cast back on soon. The yarn is Jitterbug in Fuchsia. I LOVE the colors and this yarn is really soft.

One sock One to go! I've finished this sock and need to make it's mate. This is the second time I'm using the basic toe up sock pattern from Sensational Knitted Socks.

Before we moved to Huntsville I started the Mason-Dixon Moderne Log Cabin Blanket. I didn't really work out my gauge and have just winged it. This blanket is going to be huge. I've got about three more blocks of color left to do and this will be done. The only reason I'm continuing with this madness is because it is the ONLY project I've ever done that The Brain (aka my husband) has ever been excited about. Now it is getting to be a sick fascination to see just how big it will be. That's all today.
