A Sweater Per Year

Hello on this Spaghetti alla Puttanesca Monday!

Long story short - I volunteered for a test knit but was not selected.  I had already bought a lovely comparable yarn.  So I'll be joining the KAL instead!!  

The pattern is Holly Blue.  Here is the yarn I found:

The color is a warmer pink in person than in this photo.  It's got a lovely hand and I'll probably do a gauge swatch just to see what it wants to do.  I'm thinking about 3/4 length sleeves and some charming buttons.  The KAL starts in May so stay tuned!

In other news - the recent summer weather is transitioning back to spring.  I can't say I'm disappointed - it was way too hot way too early for me!

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!
