Only One - The Penultimate Bobbin

Among other things, I did a bunch of plying yesterday!  Here is the second to the last bobbin of Only One, with a few friends:


I'm going to wait another day or two before starting the last bobbin, but a couple more palate cleansers may sneak in between now and then.

I also found a border option for Unicorn Explosion, but it involves counting; specifically, the pattern repeats over several stitches, and I need to figure out what, if any, changes are needed to the current border accommodate the pattern, given that I've just randomly assembled and variegated-bordered a bunch of squares.  Wish me luck!  Trigonometry I can handle - it's this counting that makes me crazy!

I'm stalking the Kelbourne Woolens page on Ravelry today, hoping for their first installment of Year of Gifts.  I'm ready!!

In wildlife news: I spied a deer at the edge of the forest early this morning.  We've got snow on the ground now, and Oogyhubby reports that the woods are filled with all kinds of tracks.  There are a few across the lawn and fields as well - some of them are his, LOL.

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!
