Relieved


Dear Neuro,

I really am knitting over here!  After the past few days spent obsessing over a particular exam, which I took today (and did very well I might add!), I did a small victory lap with a couple of FOs this afternoon.  First, a pair of slippers for my mom, to replace those that have somehow dissolved due to use:

Next are some yoga/pilates socks, for a friend's daughter, to serve as decoys for those already possessed by said friend:

All are by special request, but since I've received so many requests for knitting this year, I can't possibly call each post "Request"!  I've gone for long stretches without anyone asking me to make anything, but this year seems to have broken the bank on that.  I'm actually very excited about it - so much yarn, so little time!!

Love,
Oogy

Oogy, I understand how great it feels to knit for a purpose. It takes away the uncertainty of wondering if the lucky recipient will appreciate and/or like what you've made. It's a bonus if these items use yarn on hand! Nice work!

Colorful Booties and Socks

Image
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

Image
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.
