April 2017

Heartfire Shawl
Well, the end of April has past, and I am astounded. I was not as successful for knitting in April as I was in March, but 20 hats is a lot to live up to, one cannot do that every month, but at least with hats over socks at least you do not then need to knit the second one. Which I see as a bonus.
I have also decided, especially now that I am using nicer yarns etc, that I should start putting the yarn type, name, and fiber content in my blog. I am also thinking about using Mina's excel sheet for this as well. We will see how long that lasts.

Hue Shift:
I have done a calculation, and it takes around 10 hours to finish a panel of the Hue Shift, so I am hoping that the 2 final panels get finished ASAP and I can get them sewn together and get a boarder put on it as well, then as it does not yet have a home, it will need to find a home, and get the ends woven in.

Elise Blanket:
There is a slight problem here, the last couple of times I have gone to purchase more of the maroon, it has not been on the shelf. I am as far along as I can get under the present circumstances. I find this frustrating, but I am not going to put energy into worrying about it, I am just going to make progress elsewhere. - Update: I have got new yarn, you will be coming off the needles soon!

WIP's:

  1. Cable Mesh Crewneck Sweater - Thank you Knit Picks
    1. Yarn is Star Fish Ridley Sock by SeaTurtle Fibre Arts in Twilight
      • We have a minor problem, I cast on the first sleeve, and got going, the pattern made sense, I felt really good, everything was running along swimmingly, and then I counted stitches last night, and there were 23 stitches on one side, and 10 on the other...and we had 22 on both sides before...and I have increased by 6 stitches...HOW DID I DO THIS?!?!? I am going to work on either the body or the other sleeve and see if this happens again. 
      • I did the cuff of the second sleeve and things appear much better
      • I have also done a huge portion of the body! The body is going far faster than I could have anticipated. 
  2. Banana Bunches
