Springing Into FOs!


The recent bright, sunny weather has inspired me to finish a couple of projects (and think about many, many others yet to begin!!!). These socks are Mica, and if you look closely you can see the silver sparkles. They appear to be strangely shaped just sitting here like this, but they look pretty normal when worn.


Here are the finished house slippers for my mom, made with some old stash wool, no label.


Slightly more progress on this latest pair of socks as well!

It all looks so cool! The effect of the short rows on the Mica socks is great--one way to show off the color change in a different way. The pink and grey socks are also very beautiful.

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!

Wingspan, Part I

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!
