Four balls of Cascade 220... Hmmmmm.... I wonder what they're up to??

The Most Stubborn Yarn This Year

Image
I got this yarn (Cascade 220) more than a year ago because of its awesome colors (four strands of pink, purple, fuscia, and green), but I've made two nearly complete scarves with it and they looked totally awful. Right now I'm thinking it might want to be something felted. Thoughts?

WIP - Pembrokeshire Pathways Sock in STR

Image
But check out the color pooling... I only hope the second sock is similar, otherwise it might just be too strange looking?

Ugh

Image
I had a great time knitting this (a Clapotis shawl made with hand dyed silk yarn), but I totally ran out of yarn before I could finish it off and now it looks stupid. I'm currently working up the gumption to rip it all back to about the first 12 inches or so and then re-make it a bit narrower - and then hoping for the best...

FO - Market Squares Bag, or...

Image
This is the Market Squares Bag from Knitters Magazine, made with Lambs Pride Worsted. I knitted and felted it months ago but needed to sew on the handles so of course it sat on the FO pile forever! I'm trying to get a few more things underway so I can blog some WIPs as well as FOs. Stay tuned!

...Feed Bag?

Hey, where are all the oats and things??

FO - Baby Sweater!!!

Image
I finished this just in time for little Maggie's arrival! It's the Prince Albert Baby Sweater pattern from Sally Melville's Knit book, made with Patons DK Country Garden, a sproingey DK superwash wool.
