Yarn Flinging!!

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

I've been working away on many things socks this past week, including some finishing work on the shorties with a wide heel.  I'll have some pics soon.

I still need to dye the yarn for the heels and toes for the remainder of that tube, and I hope to get that done today so that knitting can commence!

In the meantime, I'm preparing some materials for the upcoming Third Annual Yarn Dyeing Weekend with Neuro and LW:

(You can also see the super cute and functional cover I scored for my CSM.  The maker does these custom, and with just my simple request for a purple print selected the most beautiful print ever!  The photo's a bit dark, but hopefully you can sort of get the idea.)

Each of these cakes will become a tube (in advance of being dyed and then knit into socks or cowls or whatever); later today there will be four more minis for accent dyeing (or whatever strikes our fancy!).  Neuro is preparing the colors for this year's theme.  Since schedules don't permit an in-person event, we'll be sending materials to each other in advance of a remote event.  LW will likely be here - she just needs to show up and have fun, LOL!!

In other news - we've had a ton of rain this past week, so everything is soggy but slowly turning green and/or flowering.  The deer triggered the motion detector early the other day; I got to see three of them wandering around on that part of the lawn.  There are still birds everywhere, but it's early yet for hummers.  Hopefully 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!
