Melisandre pour Martha

The socks are done!  They are late in that they were supposed to be the April socks of the month, but early for Martha's birthday in August.

I dried them on the blockers after washing and they came out beautifully. Maybe I should use them for *blocking* instead of just photography.

Knitting continues.

Scylla Socks

All done !

Knitting Friday

The Scylla socks are moving right along - I am working the heel of sock 1 now.  Only 9 days left to go in the Olympics though so I had better keep up the pace.

The Marigold / Meadow Flowers shawl is also moving along well.  I finished both inner sections and am gearing up to start the two outer sections.  Beads have been obtained although I need to find my handy dandy breading crochet hook pretty soon.

Fritti the kitty is still acting odd, so it is back to the vet again Monday.  Wish us luck!

The Perfect Way to Study

At home, with knitting!

One Down

Kalajoki socks are done - that is 1 pair down, 13 to go.

January Knitting

There has been so much knitting already this year.  I am still finishing up Amy's Equinox and am in the home stretch.  I think there will be enough yarn, but it has been a real knuckle biter.

I started a hat out of MadTosh and Shibuiknits Silk Cloud - still on the ribbing.   I am a little concerned it will be too small for my head, but ribbing is stretchy, right? The pattern is Green Tea Latte and is free!  It is my Loopy Challenge for January. Colors are Grasshopper & Lumen.

Next on the needles is a Kalajoki with Mountain Colors Bearfoot (colorway Yellowstone).  I have been longing to make socks again and it feels good to have one on the needles.  I really like the pattern as it is just tricky enough to keep things interesting, but not all over patterning.
