The August project for the Confident Knitting club is the Lustrous shawl, designed by Noma Ndlovu, and the technique this month is reversible cables. Is that a swatch you see? Yes it is, though I generally don’t do them for accessories. However, we were advised to do a swatch, as the amount of yarn doesn’t… Continue reading What’s Next?
Right now, I’ve only got one thing on the needles other than DH’s socks – my Cemetery Drive cowl! I’ve got a little bit of colorwork yet to do, then the top ribbing. It’s a fun knit, and I’m very happy with how it’s turning out! Have any works in progress? And if so, how… Continue reading Wednesday WIP
I turned the heel on DH’s socks yesterday, so now it’s straight up the legs until I run out of yarn or get bored! They are kind of hard to photograph because of the color and because I didn’t get too much farther than the heels. Hopefully much more progress by next Monday!
My mittens are finished! The pattern is Burnished Mittens. They were designed by Lily Kate France, and are part of AC Knitwear’s Confident Knitting. This month’s technique is Vikkel braids, which you see around the houndstooth pattern panel. The yarn is Old Maiden Aunt Superwash merino 4-ply, in the Lon-Dubh colorway. I’m not sure what… Continue reading FO Finally

In addition to DH’s socks, I have two ongoing projects, both of which are moving along. My second Burnished mitten is around halfway done. I’ve got maybe 15 more rows until the thumb separation, then the hand and thumb. I was hoping to get this done by the end of July. Maybe that will happen?… Continue reading Wednesday WIPS
Making some progress with DH’s socks The other two projects are also coming along – will hopefully have something to show on them over the next couple of days 🙂 How did your Monday go?
In addition to the DH’s socks of earlier post fame, I’ve got two projects on the needles right now. The Cemetery Drive cowl is moving along. I like the yarn colors together a lot, and it is a pretty straightforward pattern. So far, so good! The first Burnished mitten is done, and got a little… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
Over the weekend I started a pair of generic socks for DH. The yarn is sport weight, and they are getting done so fast! I’m hoping to get these done in pretty short order. He has requested a few more pairs, and I’d like to get one more pair done for myself this year and… Continue reading Sock It To Me Monday
