Fourth Annual Memorial Day(ish) Dyeing Weekend

Hello on this soon-to-be-blazing-hot Memorial Day Monday!

What wound up being a fairly last-minute decision by our standards, Neuro traveled here for a visit filled with yarn, food, and Manhattans!  Look what we did:


Well, this is really only my half of it - hers are equally fun and colorful!!

I'll show each of them a bit more closely in the coming days.  Two of them are for LW, who wasn't able to join us this year but we had fun pondering what colors she might like!

Neuro also cranked a perfect tube on the sock knitting machine using a gorgeous yarn she had dyed on her own!

In the meantime - I've been knitting without much to show for it.  I need to finish RP and Cowldici, so you'll see those some time soon.  I picked Owl Cowl back up after getting about 2 inches into it, realizing it was twisted, and then changing my mind about leaving the twist in; I finished the first set of owls and am now in the just-knit midsection (otherwise known as "Zoom Knitting" these days!).  I've also just started Clue 2 of last year's Stephen West KAL, Shawltopia; that project is a commitment but I'll take a pic of my current progress to show you!

Work has been going well and keeping me busy! You haven't missed much else here in the last few weeks.  More to come soon, though!

Stay safe, well, and hydrated!

All of these amazingly dyed skeins are inducing a serious case of startitis! I'm going to run out of needles soon. I'm so glad we made the weekend happen!

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.
