Digging for Lace

So it's Monday already!  I hope this finds you well; we're good here.

After a bit of indoor excavation, I think I've managed to find 400-yard equivalents in four different laceweight yarns that could work for the upcoming Casapinka Shawl KAL:

They are, from left to right: Misti Alpaca, KnitPicks Alpaca Cloud, Valley Yarns Alpaca/Silk, and Valley Yarns alpaca/silk hand-dyed by the Kangaroo Dyer.  Do you sense a theme here?

I do realize that the two greens are fairly close in hue, but the one on the far right has a ton of blue in it as well that I think will show up better once it's doubled.

I've got a lot of winding to do in the coming weeks!

I continue to enjoy working on the NNWA, and will show you another pic as soon as I've got all four colors in there.  I also need to get going on my dad's slippers and the things I have in mind for my mom.  So many projects!

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

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!
