I’m finally far enough along to show off the pattern details! It is moving along nicely. It’s just at the point where I can start to do the underarm gussets. Then there’s still a lot to do, but at least I’m at a landmark of sorts 🙂 I did quite a few modifications to the stitch… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs – Gansey Progress
My socks are progressing at a good rate! I have turned the heels and making my way up the legs. Normally I just go until I get tired of knitting a particular pair of socks. With these I’m planning to use up ALL the yarn. I don’t want to waste any of that lovely red at… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday
My gansey is moving along! I am a little way into the pattern section, which I am happy with so far. I did have to pause a bit to do some charting. The pattern sections are spread over about 3 different pages of the pattern, which made it hard to keep organized. Also, I did not like… Continue reading Wednesday WIP and Beastie Update
These new socks are sailing along! The label on the yarn said is fingering weight, but I think it’s probably a Sport or DK weight. I had to bring the stitch count down from my usual number, and these are knitting up so fast! Not that I’m complaining – it’s nice to have a pair of… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday
I’ve got two projects going right now – my gansey and a pair of plain socks for myself. The gansey is moving along pretty well. I finished the bottom section including my initials, which you can kind of see here. Now I’m starting the pattern section, so pretty excited about that piece! The other project is… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
My Mom’s Latvian Christmas mittens are done! They took a while to finish, but I am happy with how they turned out. Mom is too – right after I wove in the last end, she put them on and walked away with them. They haven’t been blocked, and I suspect they won’t be. And that is… Continue reading Friday FO – Latvian Christmas Mittens
New year, new WIP! I decided to put Powdermill aside for a little while to work on something new. Some friends and I are doing a gansey KAL. Alissa from Snakes and Cranes, Liz from Highland Heffalump, and Sarah from mildlygranola are all doing different ganseys or gansey-related items. I am doing an Eriskay gansey… Continue reading Wednesday WIP
So close! I am a thumb tip away from being done with my Mom’s Christmas mittens. They fit her really well, are nice and thick and warm, and have turned out pretty OK 🙂 If all goes as planned, this time next week I will be back to Sock It To Me Monday with a… Continue reading Mitten Monday
Still moving along on both the same projects! Powdermill is progressing slowly but surely The first of Mom’s Christmas mittens is done except for the thumb, and I’ve got a good start on the second. I’m waiting to see how much of the accent yarns I have left after the second mitten is done. I’d like… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
