Does This Look Twisted To You??


No, it doesn't - because it's not!  It's how I left Neuro's Fire Festival Hat just about a year ago, after casting on 8 billion stitches and twisting the cast-on the first time around.  It has sat there, patiently, ever since.  Without realizing it, I made it very easy on myself to get started again on this great pattern!!  Here we go!!!!

As I'd anticipated, I spent yesterday's yarn time wrangling with the counting for the Unicorn Explosion border, finally getting the first pattern row all set and ready for the rest of them.  Then I decided it was time to put it down and head back to some knitting.  I made another baby mitt, and also did a wee bit of spinning.  Today I mean to get some work done on Pawprint before reintroducing myself to Viking.  This all in advance of the (eventual) arrival of Sky and the last of the work on the CWA.

Meanwhile, I had yet another idea for a cowl pattern.  Good thing I decided to keep a list - these projects may extend indefinitely!!

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

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!
