And We're Off!!

Welcome to the weekend!  I hope you're all safe and well; we're good here!

I see that, while I've been spending a lot of time playing indoor fetch with The Ridgeback and not much time knitting, Blogger has changed its user interface.  Let's see what happens with that, shall we?

The big news from the past week is that the Casapinka KAL officially began yesterday, with the distribution of Clue 1!  Since I had all my yarns selected and wound into balls, I was able to cast on right away.  Of course I haven't gotten very far, but here it is so far:

So these are my colors A and B.  A is the faboo handspun I was saving for something fabulous, and B is the darker gray of the Charlemont.  Since I usually knit looser than Casapinka's gauge, I went down a needle size.  So far it's working well - I even get to trot out my new skill of knitting backwards for these smooth sections!

Other than that, things have been fairly quiet here.  I hope to have more knitting to show you soon!

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!

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.
