Neuro's Yarn Pack!!

Hello on this strangely blustery Tuesday!  I hope this finds you safe and well; we're good here.

I'm very happy to be on Day Two of my second vaccine dose.  I'm a little sleepy, and the injection site is red and itchy.  I must be one hell of an antibody factory!!!!

I've been working a bit here and there on the yarn packs for our upcoming Dye Weekend.  I did Neuro's fist because they need to be mailed to her.  They wanted to pose for you:


Each full skein is CSM-knitted into a tube and has an additional 20g skein for accent color or whatever.  The yellow yarn you see is the "waste" yarn that guards the live stitches on both ends.  It's pretty good about not unraveling, so I just make it long enough so that even accidents won't unravel the good stuff!

Other projects continue to progress slowly.  It's not a race, so I'm really trying to intentionally enjoy the process!

In wildlife news - not much going on these days.  But we're supposed to get a bit of snow tonight!!  Not a lot here, but it's still disconcerting (almost as much as that 80-degree day was earlier this month!!).

What a joy it was to receive a box of sock tubes! Mr. Neuro could not understand my explanation of how the tubes can be transformed into socks, so I used your blog posts to give him a tutorial. Now he's all excited to see socks, too!

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!
