I noticed when I logged in this morning that this is post #1001! Keeping things moving, here is what I have been working on this week. I started a pair of Carousel socks. They have been on my mind for a while and they qualify for a Ravelry sock group’s March challenge of “Unusual Construction”. So far, I am really enjoying working on this. The small section of stockinette seems to move along quickly. On a few rows I have tried knitting backwards and it worked, but I don’t know that doing that saves me any time (and I don’t mind purling). A good friend has commissioned two large slugs for her friend’s children after seeing the “Princess Slug” I made for Lorelai, so you can see the eyeballs and antennae of the first one in the middle. I am just about halfway through the second Malabrigo mitt and I am still loving it. As much as I am looking forward to spring I am glad that I will be able to have these done and put them to good use sooner rather than later.
I’ve been reading a bit here and there. Still working through “Case Histories” and I’ve been reviewing the material from the latest Craftsy class I’ve enrolled in, Knit to Flatter. As with my StitchFix experiment, I really want to make sweaters for me that fit and look right. I’m expecting to cast on a new sweater tomorrow, Morning Coffee, as part of a KAL – I think I might be making a few modifications given what I have learned in the craftsy class. Or, maybe not just yet as I’m still processing all the information. What are you reading and working on?
Those socks are on my Rav list. I just need to find the right yarn!
Those socks look like a lot of fun! I love the yarn you're using.Knit to Flatter is on my someday list:)
The socks are amazing!
Interesting socks – definitely different construction.Love the look of the slug. Perfect for a little person.
