1. Fetching - (the color is not even representative of it’s true nature. Digital cameras do not like red… mine especially. )
[Yarn is Knit Picks' Wool of the Andes Cranberry]
I’m actually nearly done with this one… but it is too small
(yes, just like Odessa …I detecting a theme here… )
So I’m going to rip this out and try again with size US 7 needles. The good news, tho, is that this is my very first cable project!! That was a goal for me to do this year. The cable needle is a little fiddly but ok. (I’m not ready to try it w/out a cable needle… I tried and it didn’t work.) I can’t wait to do more cable projects!
2. Bejeweled –
Neck scarf made from Carnivale handspun.
Here is picture of the front …
Below is the section that helped me come up with the name.
The only thing left to do is the bind off … but I’m not happy about which row I’ve ended on so I need to think about it before complete this project.
3. Socks –
These are in a holding pattern while I decide if I want to rip them out or continue them. The yarn is so pretty but the colors have become so muddy in this pattern and there’s a pooly-stripeyness that I just can’t get used to. And if the pattern looks familiar, it is. I modified the Cookie A.’s Monkey socks so I could do them toe up. There’s still one thing I wanna fix on the pattern. I learned a lot working on these. That’s why I’ haven’t ripped them out yet despite my frustration at knitting them.
4. Amethyst Socks
And, I’m still working on these socks.
I am on the heel of the 2nd sock.
Knitting on US size 2 needles goes sooooooooooooooooo slooooooooooow. But I’m still chuggin’ along.
Enjoy your week!
All of your projects look really beautyful. You must have been quite busy those last weeks.
Especially the Amethyst socks are way cute.
Btw, instead of a cable one can use dpn’s as well, right?
I tried out this pattern a few days ago http://www.helloyarn.com/irishhikingcarf.htm and it was really easy working. I was surprised by that. And as I didn’t have a cable I used a dpn.
Good luck with all of your projects.
Well, I wanna see this scarf! *nudge nudge* and yes, using a dpn can be used as well.
Whatever works, right? Yeah, cables are easier than they look.
Happy cabling! ~Saffron
Very pretty projects! Great job on learning how to cable!
Cables are great, aren’t they? They were also on my “learn how to make” list this year.
I really like all of your sock projects!
You’re having such beautiful projects on your needles – I love them all, as well as the gorgeous colorways you’re using! And I’m impressed by your cabling! Happy Knitting!
All those yarns look so gorgeously knittable -how do you choose which to work on first?
