April Thing A Month - Textured Weaving

Dear Neuro,

I have absolutely no idea how this is going to turn out, but for our April project I will be attempting inkle loom weaving.  For the first time.  On an inkle loom.  Without you.

Eeek!!



And, while it may appear that I'm off to a rather late start for this April project, it is snowing here today and, as you know, I am neither in Canada nor Alaska as I say this.  I will, therefore, attribute at least some of my delay to utter confusion regarding time of year.

By the way, your placemats look awesome!!!

Love,
Oogy

Oogy! I have never heard of that loom. If anyone can conquer a new technique, it's you, so I'm not worried. I'm eager to see what you make!

SNOWING? I sat outside today. And mowed the lawn!

Colorful Booties and Socks

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!

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!

Wedding Pillows

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.
