Easy Being Green

Hello on this Freezer Bingo Wednesday!!

Our weather continues to be unpredictable, varied, and unseasonable - but as a result we've had a series of warm, sunny days that allow us to open the windows during the day, see the daffodils springing up everywhere, and today there are buds on the tree just outside of my window!

Coincidentally, I just finished this little blankie I'd started a million years ago with this unusually nice acrylic (think baby blanket maybe?):


It's a little hard to see from here but the middle is double knit and the edges are garter stitch.  It's lovely and squishy!

Off the needles and with their recipient are some socks that I knit with this yarn; no pics because it went from secret to gift in just a few hours and of course I forgot to take a pic...  Pattern is from one of LW's knitting books!

Also off the needles and awaiting finishing is the vest I'm making for Oogyhubby.  I had him try it on last night and I have to say the fit is perfect!  I'll be sure to take pics once it's all done and blocked.

In the meantime my mindless knitting is a 2x2 rib cowl - no idea what the pattern is as I have only the second page of instructions, no other info!  Which just means it's been too long and it needs to get finished!

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.
