Closing the Gap

TGIF!!!!  I hope this finds you well; we're good here.

I have no idea where the week went, and can't believe that we're coming to the end of August already!  I know I was knitting my ass off, and this week I'm only 12 hours behind the KAL cadence:

 

I'd better take my victory laps while I can, because Clue 3 is said to be even longer.  More death by stockinette.  Oh well, it's starting to look like a shawl now, and I do like it!

Benson and I were up early this morning and saw at least five deer along the treeline at the other end of the field.  They all watched us as we paraded up and down the driveway.  Later on in the day, we saw Mamma and Speckled Baby walking by.  I hope that little thing gets bigger and stronger before winter!

We keep finding dead and dying yellow jackets everywhere.  I've taken to vacuuming them up.  Better living through chemistry!

I've started the first section of Clue 3 and it's rather fun to knit!

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!

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.
