I finished my socks! Woohoo!! On the Florida trip, since I didn't drive, I had about 6 hours of knitting time in the car. The pattern is Wise Hilda's Basic Sock, yarn is Knit Picks Thirst Heather.
Now to decide what to start next!! I pulled out four different projects I want to start NOW.
I had a couple of those days where I was craving a new project and did not have the correct needles for ANY of them! So I cast on my Sycamore Vest and realized I didn't understand the chart. ;(
So I cast on Maine Morning Mitts using Ella Rae Classic Sand Art yarn from Tuesday Morning. I usually don't knit with dpns, but they were the only needles I had in that size. So, I am doing ok even though I feel like I have "sticks" everywhere. These go really fast! I am ready to cast on more stitches for the thumb. I think I will unravel the turquoise and start mitt #2 in purple so maybe they will match.
Whoops! I just read the ball band that says the color repeat is randomized to make a "unique fabric". Oh well. Still a fun knit.
Lovely socks!
ReplyDeleteThe socks are great--it's always so great to finish!
ReplyDeleteThose mitts are going to be so much fun. Love the colors.
Yay!! for your finished socks! And your yarn for the mittens is wonderful! I have picked up a few skeins at Tuesday morning, too, but none in that colorway. Lovely!
ReplyDeletebeautiful projects. I like things symmetrical too I did that with my red and pink reading mitts.
ReplyDeleteI love that yarn you are using for your mittens. After I finish a pair of socks, I'm going to try mittens.!
ReplyDeleteLove those heather socks. It will be fun to see what the second mitt looks like with that pretty yarn.
