Consumed

Hello on this garlic shrimp Monday!  (BTW - last night I ended up ditching the asparagus and went with breaded chicken pieces and the squash - threw the whole thing in the oven and dunked them all in marinara!) 

No sooner had I posted yesterday when I happened across Stephen West's annual MKAL announcement.  So I signed up for that as well!  Never mind that I'm still working on last year's project - but I'm on the border, so technically in the home stretch (although the border is large??).  It calls for 500g of fingering weight yarn in 3 colors - 200g each of two contrasting colors, and 100g of something amazing.  So here's what I'm going to do.  I have the something amazing that I couldn't bear to knit into socks, and I recently stocked up on a bunch of Highland Sock yarn on sale at Webs in neutral colors for dyeing, so....  Off to the dyeing studio I go!!  I have until early October, which may seem like a lot of time, but when you factor everything in I really need to get started on all of that right away!

Oogybro sent me some fun dog-themed items recently; last night I tried the bulldog ice cube mold for the first time:


Here it is floating in whiskey:

Which is only a little weird because we have a hound - but all dogs are great!

Stay safe and well :)

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!

Wedding Pillows

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.
