I haven’t had a ton of knitting time this week, so I’ve spent it working on my Sockdown socks. I’m definitely enjoying Eunice. The pattern is interesting, but not too difficult. And I love, love, love this Malabrigo yarn. I can’t even begin to describe how nice it is to work with. (And how much […]
I went on a bit of a yarn winding spree on Sunday night (a good activity to do after a long day of driving). All this was with the intent of starting the following projects: For May Sockdown #1, I cast on the Eunice socks from the new Cookie A book, out of my brand
Pattern: Waving Lace Socks by Evelyn A. Clark from Favorite SocksYarn: Knitpicks Risata in the Woodland Sage colorwayNeedles: 1 1/2 DPNs My Waving Lace socks are done, pretty much just under the wire for March’s Sockdown challenge. This was a fairly easy pattern, and actually a pretty quick knit, when I was working on it.
Pattern: Undulating Waves Scarf by Heather NelkinYarn: Schaefer Heather in the Eleanor Roosevelt colorwayNeedles: size 6 I’d had grander knitting plans for this weekend, but the throat plague of doom put the kibosh on most of that. I did however, finish the Undulating Waves scarf I started back in January for the class I took

I started this sweater back in August. Piece #1 (the
I have successfully completed the four pieces for my Brocade Leaves sweater. To finish, I only need to sew the pieces together, and do a bit more knitting on the neckline. I’m a little nervous about the sewing together part of this. I’ve seamed knitting before, but this is the first thing I’m planning to
Pattern: Chrissy Gardener’s Moonflower socksYarn: Three Irish Girl’s Carys BFL sockNeedles: 1.5 DPNs I finally finished my Moonflower socks! The only modification I made to the pattern was to user larger needles, since I wanted to give them to someone other than a toddler or midget. It’s a lovely pattern, but I think it’s cemented
I finally finished my first Moonflower sock. I really do like the pattern, and it’s really easy to remember, but man, it takes forever! I really like patterns with longer repeats. I feel like I’m getting more accomplished with a longer repeat, and the forward motion actually helps me go faster. I’m taking way longer
Pattern: Embossed Leave Socks from Interweave Favorite SocksYarn: Knit Pick’s Imagination in the Frog Prince colorwayNeedles: size 2 My second pair of Embossed Leaves socks are done. I really like this pattern – it flies off the needles and looks lovely without being very difficult. (I also now understand the purpose of the seemingly crazy
