On and Off the Needles

 This year's Halloween socks are done in time to get some use out of them. They are from Wild Hare and are in the Rusty Nail colorway. I like them.


 My White Pine cardi is at the point that I have to do some serious thinking about how to join the sleeves to the yoke and stay in pattern while at the same time decreasing for the v-neck.


 It's going into time out until I can clear my head. This is serious business.


 Son's Fine Knit Cardigan is in production after several false starts. All swatching aside-knitting lies. You have to watch it every minute or it will do terrible things behind your back.


Last but not least, I have some holiday knitting in the holiday bag and off to a good start. That's Paton's Kroy in the Blue Striped Ragg colorway. I've got several other projects for myself going but for now, these last two are my priority. Until I make some serious headway, everything else is in time out.

    I'm so envious of your beautiful knits and your cast ons! But this: "All swatching aside-knitting lies. You have to watch it every minute or it will do terrible things behind your back." had me in stitches. You're so funny!

    I'm glad you are giving a timeout to the Cardi. I whole-heartedly agree with you that you need a game plan and confidence going into the next pieces.

    Love your Halloween socks! The cardi is gorgeous and you've made really nice progress on the sweater. That's one of my favorite Kroy sock colorways.

    The socks look great - and White Pine is going to be fabulous - looks like you've made some great progress on your son's sweater too!
