MKAL Frenzy

Hello on this stormy Tuesday!

I'm working away on Sharon Air and have just started Clue 5.  I think it's a fairly large clue, because it came with a disclaimer that we shouldn't feel compelled to get it all done in one week.  I'm enjoying the different colors of yarn and for the most part it's very straightforward knitting!

Mountain Musings has been a little more challenging (as expected):


First there was the pinhold caston (you can see I haven't exactly worked in the end there, but it otherwise turned out as planned).  Then there was the first bit on DPNs.  Now I've finally switched to circulars but still seem to have a bit of a counting challenge.  I'm enjoying the colors with this one as well although still adjusting to working in the round (it's been a while, I think!).

I think I've managed to use every single pair of #5 circular needles I own with all of these projects!  I may need to invest in a few additional sets just to have them available!

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!

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.
