All 30 squares are complete and are ready to be crocheted together! The outside border design is still TBD, depending on what looks best when everything is all together.
It is the Year of Colorwork, but mostly what I've done so far is produce a few color ful items! I've been making this baby bootie pattern for years, mostly from leftover sock yarns. This particular yarn is what remained from last fall's Flamewalker Socks . That these booties stand up all by their jaunty selves makes them particularly appealing. These are Crazy For You socks. They haven't told me yet exactly whom they are crazy for , but I'll let them ponder that for a while. It appears I may have caught a bit of Knitting New England's Tangerine Tango with all of these orangey colors!
I have two skeins of Classic Elite Alpaca Sox yarn that absolutely refuse to become socks. They pool, they gap, they otherwise cry and carry on in all sorts of ways. So, they are becoming Wingspans instead. I finished the first one last night, and cast on the second one this morning. They are, indeed, a pleasurable and addictive knit!
I've been busy, but I don't have much to show for it - yet. You will be seeing a lot of finished lace in the coming days, so stay tuned! In the meantime, here are two pillows that I dyed and knit for friends who are getting married next week.
