Green Snape Socks - added several rows more after the photo session. Am on to the second set of charts and the increases for the gusset. We are making a Fleegle heel - I know what a heel is, I know who Fleegle is, this should go well. This one is perfect "Midsomer Murders" knitting because it needs a chart.
White / Blue / Gray plain socks. These are for the HMC #2 and are coming along nicely. This one is my mindless knitting for the week. Just around, around, around.
Green / Gold Pelle fair isle mittens. You can see the beginnigs of little cats on the left hand mitten (4 feet and a ball of yarn). The palms are also patterned. This is also a good "knit in place" project, again due to the chart. I really need to catch up the second one so I can do the same rows in the chart concurrently. They have different charts but I think it will prevent 2nd mitten syndrome.
Janet & Ruth are also making "kitten mittens" and today we had a nice "cast on" party. I was already through the first cuff and jumped right into the patterning. A good thing too, as that is where I needed to talk through some questions on the pattern. It isn't poorly written by any means but it has a lot less hand-holding than most current / modern patterns.
In other news, Tuppy the cat has been super affectionate tonight. I wonder what he was up to while I was gone today.
