A pair of Hermione's Everday Socks in Gnome Acre's Hermione colorway. The second sock is past the heel turn so will be finished this week.
A new sock yarn blanket that I do not have a picture of. I'm using the mini skeins I've started collecting and have assigned stitch patterns to the cards in a deck (A-K). Each new mini skein gets a new stitch. It will be done in long rows that I attach. When I get enough to show you what's happening with that one I'll show you.
2 bathmats for David's bathroom--still no pictures of this because it's an experiment. I'm using 2 strands of dish cloth yarn held doubled and knitting until I get approximately the right size. I'm going to see how these stand up to use, but I'm predicting some knitting rugs around my house in the near future. The daughters have also requested mats for their new apartment.
A sweater for the skinny me. This one is in Louisa Harding Albero yarn which is a wonderful combination of viscose and cotton. It's extremely drapey and soft. Not my typical color but for $3 a skein I shouldn't complain. The pattern is Lazio from Berroco. It's about to hit being in "rotation" with my sock after I finish the bath mat for David (tomorrow maybe?) I'm anxious to be able to wear a new sweater I'm made in size MEDIUM! I'm planning to do lots of sweaters for the skinny me
And that's it! Yea for starting projects, for hopeful times, for wonderful yarn, for a restful break...now I just need to rekindle that restful feeling of being at home and relaxed so that I can make it through the workday...
I did bring up some socks to work on during lunch so hopefully that'll help. They're neon and will be mis-matchy but oh-so cute. Can't wait to show you my ideas...hopefully they'll work!
