June 2017


Well hello there,
I have been quite the busy bee, I was away in Scotland for 2 weeks on quite the adventure. Just imagine I did 1200 miles in 10 days in a car, the poor car was glad to see the back of me I would think. Now back to my normal routine, with more exercise added in. Just need more knitting on the treadmill projects to do, this is a double edge sword really as it means more cast on, but I am going to see if I can get a jump start on hats for CHAS for next year.
Other than that not a lot has changed. I am just moving along at a steady pace, and keeping out of trouble.

FO's:

  1. Rainbow Swirl on a cloudy day socks
    1. These were my plane knitting, I was amazed I got the entire foot of 1 turned out in a 7 hour flight, go me!

Almost FO's:
  1. Cable Mesh Crewneck Sweater - Thank you Knit Picks
    1. Yarn is Star Fish Ridley Sock by SeaTurtle Fibre Arts in Twilight
      • Finally figured out the sleeves on this thing...and then took a break. Something went very awry, but I got a heck of a ways. 
  2. Surge
    1. I made a few modifications to this, the panels that are in Yarn Ink Butterfly, are done in stockinette stitch instead of garter as I thought the speckles would be shown to best advantage with no texture, and I was right!


WIP's:
My life would be amazing if I could get one of these finished before I go away in June...maybe I can...maybe I cannot.
    1. Banana Bunches
      1. 9 more repeats and you will be out of my life!
    2. Hue Shift 5 colours
      1. I have started the 3rd quarter of this blanket.


    Languishing WIP's:
    1. Illuminated Lines Blanket: Thank you Knit Picks
    2. Circlet Cardigan: Thank you Knit Picks - so pretty! I cannot wait to see this finished.
      • Just realized that this is officially the 3 year sweater...it was cast on in January of 2014
    3. Feather and Fan Blanket - This really is if I am desperate for a change.
    4. 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. Tardis Blanket (the giant one)
        • Smaller needles?
        • Larger edging?
        • Follow the pattern more accurately, do not get impatient with the process, as it is a process!
      Books:
      1. The Crown
      2. Moll Flanders
      3. Worlds of Ink and Shadow
      4. DragonFly in Amber
      5. Gone With the Wind
