Knitting Solidarity

Hello on this cloudy Monday!  I hope this finds you safe and well; we're good here.

I haven't been up to much yarn excitement lately, except to say that I'm now surrounded by many yarny lovelies from Neuro!  Not only did she give and make me some awesome things for the holiday, but I continue to enjoy what she gave me for my b-day some time ago:


This is the emPower People cowl in Neuro's custom colorway Biden Our Time.  I've been working on this since the business the other day.  I've also been wearing the one she made for me; that one is a deep purple and made with a soft, squishy wool/camel blend.  There's a third version waiting in the wings - I'll show you that one and some pics of these other things in the coming days (the Goldilocks Project, Oogyhubby's hat, the gauge swatch, and whatever else hops on the needles! Stash yarn only - 2021 is the year of Yarn Austerity!).

There are also a couple of longer-term projects in the works; stay tuned for more on those!

I continue to be busy in a good way with competing priorities as well.  No complaints here!

The wildlife continue to be visibly scarce during daylight hours.  Last evening, however, Benson set up a racket right after dinner.  When Oogyhubby went to investigate, he saw that there was a fox out on the driveway.  Evidently the fox gave him the equivalent of the fox middle finger before strolling off into the night.

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!

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.
