Rogue Pinion Cast On!

Hello on this strangely warm Monday!

I finally cast on for our Rogue Pinion project yesterday afternoon:


Savvy Pinion knitters will notice that this looks strangely like Original Pinion.  Well, so far it is!  Casapinka does a great job of anticipating the flaring that happens at the end of long, straight knits and so she builds in some safeguards.  Why mess with perfection??

For the second section I chose a stitch pattern called Coral Knot Stitch.  I expect that some time today I'll find out if I love it or hate it!!

In other news - I have today off!  Hoping to make a trip to the liquor store to replenish some critical items and perhaps get those slippers sewn and felted!!

Stay safe and well!

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!
