Travel Knitting

 Hello on this non-taco Tuesday!  (Oogyhubby plans to smoke up some ribs for dinner tonight - can't wait!)

We're just back from a short trip to CT to visit Oogyparents - and also Neuro and Neurohubby!!!  It was a great trip, our Oogy/Neuro lunch was very warm but safely outside and distanced from other customers.  We also got to play fetch with Oogybro's doggie, who was full of joyous puppy energy.

I got tons of knitting done during our various travels and visits as well!  I finished the knitting on the NNW bridal shower pillows:

I started on the cuff/heel/toes for the first pair of Horse Friend socks:

And I got a bag-o-yarn from Neuro that has sooooo many possibilities:

Next in the queue - I need to dye the yarn for Oogyhubby's winter socks.  I'll be hand-knitting those, since I plan to incorporate cabling to enhance their warmth and durability.  I also gave him a proto-vest for Xmas last year that he doesn't want me to start until I've delivered his socks, LOL.

And, of course, the new Casapinka KAL starts on Monday!  

In other news - the farmer has completely cleared out the field.  Everything got mowed, whisked, baled, and trucked away within just one week!  We missed the last part of it all but at least we got to watch some of it.

Stay safe, well, and cool in this crazy weather!

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!

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.
