Last week I vowed that I would cast on for a ton of things and never be without a knitting project. My project manogamy was leaving me wanting more on the needles. I sort of achieved my goal, but apparently old habits dye hard. I cast on for these awesome socks on Thursday and knit on them pretty loyally throughout the weekend. Not sure that counts towards increasing the variety. The pattern is Cadence by VeryBusyMonkey, the yarn is TFA Blue Label in Jewel and so far I love EVERYTHING about these babies. :)
I managed to tear myself away from the socks long enough to start on this simple scarf that I intend to keep close by for my "brainless" knitting. Now that the pattern is well established it makes for perfect waiting room knitting. The yarn and colourway are both OOAK's. The pattern is Strathcona by Jane Richmond. Love it all.
And just because variety is the spice of life I've thrown some crochet into the mix. I haven't touched this baby blanket in months, but it's so close to being finished. I think that if I devote a few nights to working on it I'll have another blanket to add to my stack of baby knits.
Wow, I was so proud of myself for knitting one little baby sock over the week-end, you almost knitted a pair of adult socks! And they are awesome! I'll blame the kids for my little knitting time... ;)
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the pattern for the crocheted flowers in that blanket, will you be sharing that at some point? If my memory is right, it is one of your own.
The colors in that baby blanket are beautiful! I don't really crochet, but I'm tempted to give it a try! Also, love the purple socks. Great color. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the yarn you are using for Strathcona! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteYay for knitting with purple too :)
Must finish that baby blanket, it is stunning.
Your color palette right now is just FILLING me with envy. And those Cadence socks are, as we say here in Boston, wicked awesome!
ReplyDeleteCadence socks were actually next in my queue, until I somehow got roped into the Business Casual KAL... Can't complain - the Business Casual are beautiful, too!
ReplyDeletePretty Cadence socks; those are going on my queue right now.
ReplyDeleteAnd although I'm not that crazy about crochet, your blanket is SO beautiful. Lucky Baby TFA!
That blanket is stunning, and once again makes me want to learn crochet... Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteYour projects are lovely, the colours are stunning. I started a jumper for my daughter last weekend as I needed more than one project on the go.
ReplyDeleteI'm dying to make a Strathcona! It looks like a perfect pattern for a variegated yarn. Hmm... And, WOW, that baby blanket is GORGEOUS!!
ReplyDeleteReally like your baby project page. Would you share the pattern for the baby booties?
ReplyDeleteYour socks are gorgeous! I agree with everyone, you must finish the baby blanket :)
ReplyDeleteCan you share the pattern for the baby blanket? I made a hexagon crochetted blanket several years ago, but can't find my pattern and want to make another one.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved the Jewel colorway, but I've never seen it pop quite like that. Gorgeous! And I love that baby blanket. I may have to make one for myself just like it.
ReplyDeleteWas the "old habits 'dye' hard" a Freudian slip?? Those socks are absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAll of these projects are stellar and you're zipping through them!
ReplyDeleteoooh, Is that Lucky Penny ?! I'm stoked to see it knitted up, it's looking so pretty!
