So far but still the same.

Well this went quiet when Ravelry took over but, well, that’s a story for another day. 

Time to try and catalogue my work. 

So far I’ve finished a crochet shawl and a hitchhiker this year. 

I need to work out how to put pictures in here again, if I even can from the web browser or not. If not I’m. It sure this will get used. My ten month old doesn’t really let me at a computer, back to work next week but that won’t really allow me to blog now will it. 

Now the question is, what next in my WIP pile?

Finished!

A finished object yay!

Very proud of them. 

Now what to finish next?

updates on WIPs

So how am I going...

Well the second sock on my rainbow socks just turned the heel this morning. My aim is to have the gusset started and a good chunk done today and then see what I can get done tomorrow as I'm not headed out anywhere.

My paintbox cowl was frogged as I really wasn't happy with it and didn't want to waste the yarn.

My sweetie socks have been frogged because I checked the size and they're too small. The patter I used was quite tight so I'll pick another one and go with it instead.

No other progress to report. I'm happy though, by focusing I've managed to make a huge amount of progress on my first pair of socks. I'm excited to get them finished and then I can start on another pair and try and blast at least one other project off the needles. I'm thinking either my cabled scarf or my moss stitch cowl as that's something I can do without paying attention to it.

Just keep knitting ;)

Hey number 1

Sock one is officially complete! Sock number two is already 3.5 inches long so my aim is to get to the heel flap as quick as possible as that's what slowed me up last time. 

Knit knit knit! :)

 

So focus...

Well it's just over a week since I posted saying I was going to focus more on my old projects to get things cleared off the needles.

I'm pleased to report that one project has been frogged and one sock is passed the heel stage! Look:

I measured the sock this morning and there's only 2 and a half inches left to go before I start the toe decreases (yes I've done more than is shown in that picture) so I think I know what I'm doing tonight after the hairdressers.

It feels good to have very visible progress on a project and I just love how the heel turned out with the striping.

Oops I did it again...

Oh sweet blog you're as neglected as my many many WIP knitting projects!

It's getting a little silly not and I've set myself a challenge to finish as many as I can before I'm allowed to cast on anything else or even wind any more yarn, because if I do that I know I'll want to cast on something straight away.

I have two projects I really want to get onto needles so I'm definitely not allowed to start one until I finish one.

So time to admit it, here's my WIP list:

• Self Striping socks (my first WIP to be tackled I think)
• Sweetie socks (vanilla latte pattern with gorgeous yarn painted by my LYS)
• Big reversible cable scarf (think this will be my second as it should take long and it's stash busting, win/win)
• gray gaptastic cowl (this one 3rd I think, again shouldn't take too long and it frees up a cable for my interchangeable set)
• Trillian (this is going to be my travelling project I think so I don't mind too much if it takes awhile)
• Pogona (I really love this and I'm ready to start the next section of it. Again not a bad travel project and isn't too difficult to knit up in chunks)
• Cowl test knit - I must be honest. I'm not loving this and have no motivation to knit it which doesn't help. Thinking of frogging but feel bad for doing so. 

So these are just active(ish) WIPs! I do have lurking UFOs hanging around which I will figure out what to do about at some point in time but above is my focus at the minute.

If I finish at least 2 of these I can start my Americana tshirt that I want to make which will be my first real (to me) item having only done shawls so far.

I shall love you and leave you and go do some work now.

Cakes all around

There's something about yarn when it's caked that makes me think it looks professional. I've had fun playing with my yarn winder but when you drop the yarn it is definitely not fun to fix!

Not done too much knitting recently. I am behind on a knit a long so I need to catch up but I won't have the first chance until Friday night. Mostly garter stitch but using short rows so it is interesting.
