knittingpixI have been horribly amiss at posting here! I comment and coo, but I haven't posted hardly anything. So, welcome to the wrap-up catch-up knitty pics post!
Socks! These are the Mock Wave Cable socks from 25 Favorite Socks by Interweave Press. My goal is to knit every pair in the book, even the ones I don't like, because - well, why not? Socks! Anyway, these were great fun and a quick knit. I used Trekking Pro Natura and the US3 to US2 needles the pattern called for. They came out a little bit large for me, but fit my friend Ana perfectly.
Simple basic mittens for Lola. Frog Tree Yarn, bulky, basic mitten pattern from The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns by Ann Budd. I highly recommend this book - if you know your gauge, and you have this book, you can make anything! Well, to be more precise, you can make socks, hats, tams, sweaters, vests, mittens, and gloves. Nice simple pattern, quick knit, and super-warm mittens for a Chicago winter.
I played with my spindle! This is 3oz of pretty much useless yarn, but it was fun. It's overspun and overplied, but I'm pretty proud of it. It will sit on the shelf until I get my hands on a spinning wheel - and then I may unply it (if possible) and do it again.
The beginnings of a sweater! Another pattern from the Ann Budd book. I grabbed the gauge and size that would use up my stash yarn, so I don't think it will fit me, but it's awfully pretty. Dream in Color Classy, Happy Forest colorway. It's actually all done but the seaming, which is today's project. I've got a couple of DVDs to work my way through because they're due back at the rental place today, oops.
All caught up! I'm not a speedy knitter, haha. There's a sock on the needle now, but no pictures until it's done.
