October 2016

There is a KAL from October 1st to December 31st for colour work projects being hosted by Katie from Inside Number 23, so I am hoping this gives me some motivation to get the Illuminated Lines blanket complete. You never know. I have been working on it for ages.
I really have the motivation right now to clear my needles. Mina (KnittingExpat) clears her needles for the end of every month, I am not 100% sure how she accomplishes this, but she has my admiration for it.

I was rather bad this month. I purchased rather a lot of yarn.....ah well. I will knit it eventually, and I have another new cast on. I must say it is flying, and I am quite pleased with my present progress. I am also being super careful, as I do not want any added 'design features' (mistakes) on this one.

My Merrow Mitts have taken on a whole new life, as I am knitting them 2 at a time in magic loop, which is impressive, and I am surprised as to how naturally this came to me. It lends to new hope to the fact that I might be able to do this with my Circlet Cardigan sleeves, at least then all your increases are happening in the same place.



FO's:
  1. Merrow Hat
    • I love this hat. It comes in second to the Reverie hat, only because I know I can knit a Reverie hat in about 6 hours, this took a bit longer. I may also take a repeat out of this one if I were to complete it again, it was almost too slouchy. 
  2. Merrow Mitts









Knitting I have on the go:
  1. Illuminated Lines Blanket: Thank you Knit Picks
  2. Elise Blanket in Maroon and Grey
  3. Circlet Cardigan: Thank you Knit Picks - so pretty! I cannot wait to see this finished.
  4. Feather and Fan Blanket - This really is if I am desperate for a change.
  5. Banana Bunches - So you can probably tell this keeps getting shoved aside.
  6. Hue shift in 5 colours not 10
      1. CO is 18 stitch maker CO 17 with a CDD (I keep forgetting what my cast on is, so here we go, never to forget)
    1. Dragon Stole: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dragon-stole
    2. Magnolia Pullover - Knit Picks
      1. This is absolutely stunning! The front is complete and the back is 4 repeats away. 
    3. Mountain Airy Socks
