Mom’s Scarf
It’s finished! Yay! I ended up ordering one more skein of Crystal Palace Yarns “Party” online and it arrived a couple weeks ago. It was enough for me to be able to finish the scarf. And just in time for Mother’s Day!
Limbo
I’ve been in a weird sort of knitting limbo or apathy. I knit and knit, but I don’t seem to accomplish anything. Gauge is way off, the fabric sucks, the yarn looks ugly, et cetera.
This has all been caused by several factors, the largest of which is I still haven’t finished seaming the Cropped Cardi. The shoulders have been attached, but that’s it. I won’t allow myself to start a new, large-scale project until this cardigan is 100% complete.
It’s a bit silly, I know. But on the other hand, I’ve been unable to decide which project I should start next. A shawl? A sweater? A blanket? Deadlock!
Surprise, Surprise!
The Madder Ribbed socks are finished! Pictures to come on Tuesday once they’re dry.
I didn’t finish them on Friday night as I planned. Instead, I took a break to make a headband based on Knit and Tonic Wendy’s Dream Swatch Head Scarf. I had about half a skein of that yummy Alchemy Bamboo in Rust Red left over from making Mom this basket for her birthday. I thought, “Oooh, perfect for a headband,” since I didn’t have a whole skein to work with. My plan is to find some elastic I’ve put away somewhere and sew the two ends together. I’ll try to do that this coming weekend. But meanwhile, here are a couple pictures. more »
