work in progress Wednesday

a plain, multi directional, scrap knit scarf - something I started on a whim.


one of my favorite knit scarf patterns, I've made this pattern quite a few times for charity knitting


I'm using a magic ball of scraps of acrylic in whites / off white / eggshell, and mostly likely this will be given to charity.


Measures about 6" wide, I'll most likely make this about 6' feet.

sock madness socks, which I sadly ran out of time to finish, so I'm not competing this year :(

For my birthday, I started a seamless, bottom up EPS type of sweater, using superwash Wool of the Andes in this pretty redish color....

I also finally managed to restart Jon's flax....

work in progress wednesday

Good morning!

How has your week been going? How's the weather? Sunday we had a gorgeous day, it warmed up just over 34 degrees so some of the snow had a chance to melt - then it got cold, and everything froze again :/. Will spring ever arrive?




 I've had a little bit of progress on my WIPs how about you this past week?


Progress on the socks....



This picture is a few days old - I'm just about at the heel turn on both socks now. Just a basic, toe up ribbed sock, but I did write up the pattern & will be putting up for testing if I ever get caught up ....





and on the sweater...

the sleeves are still left to go!

I used knit picks palette, a fingering weight, 100% wool yarn, pattern is ravello, a top down, seamless sweater written for tons of sizes.













I also have started a pair of socks for hubby, using my scrap pattern " Balance Rock Socks " using slip stitches to create the simple, two color design









and I finally started working on my around the twist crochet log cabin afghan, too...



I'm in the process of joining the squares, but decided I need just a few more so have to make four more squares.

I'm using the continuous, join as you go method, which I just love, but is a little bit of a pain when using larger sized squares and making a larger size afghan, which this one is... The finished size will be close to a queen size blanket when I'm done.

WIP Wednesday

Just a quickie drive by post to share a couple of Wips with you all! I was playing catch up on Ravelry and thought I should share with ya'll too :) My ravello - love this pattern! I've been wanting to make it for ages & I'm sure I'll make it again. I have a ton of pallette in my stash, so I can easily use up some of my odd balls for the stripes.



Next!

Etude in stripes - really scrappy version! Anyone who follows me knows that I've been working on using up my pile of scraps. This is just one more attempt. I have a few balls of the blue I'm using for a main color, but the rest is just crazy stripes. I'm regretting the red-maroon you see - but I'm hoping it'll look OK once the whole sweater is done. I have more of that color & I'm thinking of using it in the sleeves.

WIP Wednesday

Well, not technically a wip anymore, but I frogged Jon's flax - it was coming out way too big.



Plain, toe up, ribbed socks (my current travel project)



I'm greatly enjoying knitting these - a lacey, ribbed toe up pair of socks - pattern will soon be up for testing (as will the ribbed socks, as a matter of fact)
