Needle Work

 Clickity clack. Socks are getting done. Slowly but surely.


 I am on the heel flap with both of these. Both pairs are such a joy to pick up, I am in no rush to finish them.



 I am in a rush for my Hap to be done by the first weekend in May but I think it's a lost cause. There are around 75 pattern repeats and I am only getting two or three done a day. If that.


 It's a very easy pattern. It's already a TV/Netflix knit. It will look better when I can get those lacy points blocked out. I like how the green is striping.




I finished plying the last of it and came away with a bit more. Sad to say, but it is woefully under plied so it looks like I reverted back to my old bad habits. I've got my fingers crossed I don't end up needing this because then I will be faced with having to fix it and that doesn't sound like fun.


I shamelessly stole this from Malibrigo's Twitter feed this morning to wish everyone a happy Women's Day. We need a little more of US and a little less of THEM IMHO. Go get'em ladies!

    Your projects are all looking great, and are such pretty colors! The Hap looks really good so far, who knows you may get going on in more than you think ...

    Beautiful knitting. Love the orange of your socks and your Hap! I want to make this one. 75 pattern repeats sounds like a ton though....Happy Women's Day!!

    I like the socks you have growing-especially the orange ones! The shawl is gorgeous-hang in there; you never know what may happen with that shawl getting done on time!

    PS-I went and looked at the pattern by Kate Davies and I bought one for two reasons-the yarn I just dyed is Shetland and the color is this emerald/mossy green-I know what the shawl will look like for me!!!! Thanks for the inspiration!

    Slow but sure wins the race, of course. The Hap is so beautiful. I still am afraid to learn to spin. I have my lovely spindle and I adore looking at it. Someday....

    I'm loving your Hap! I like how the green is striping too. It sure has a lot of pattern repeats though...yikes...75 is a lot. If you're getting 2 or 3 done a day you just might get it done in time though. You've got 57 days. I bet you'll get it done. ;-)

    Great knits. I could not take off for the day without women in the workforce. SO sad because so many of us have to work no matter the cause.
