Knit Wit


 That Polwarth handspun is on it's way to becoming a cowl.



 It's striping up nicely which is good because I picked a pretty simple pattern.



My remaining on the needle socks are at their heels. I'll be glad to see the end of them.



The lining of the Snowflings are almost at the place where I have to do some knitting gymnastics. You have to finish the thumbs before you close up the top so you can weave in the ends. Wish me luck. This scares me.


And....yet another one of my childhood crushes has left the planet. Peter was my Monkee. My sister even texted me her sympathies yesterday. No matter what we were doing it all stopped when The Monkees were on TV. RIP dude. Thanks for the memories.

    I feel your pain; I was a Davy Jones Girl. Sigh.

    Had not heard about Peter York.

    Stripes are nice in the cowl - very pretty! And you know I'm in love with those mitts.

    I have not heard about Peter York either. So sad. It seems like everybody from my childhood is leaving us.
    You’re coming right along on all of your projects. Those mitts are beautiful and yay for the socks! I like the yarn that you chose for the cowl.
    Blessings, Betsy

    The colors in all of your yarn are just beautiful. On another rainy, gray day, they are even prettier.

    Oh, Peter Tork - He was my favorite as well. I loved his silly,quiet innocent character in that show! Those were some very sweet days!

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I had plans to marry Davy... until David Cassidy came along. The Monkees was such a great show!
    Your cowl will be lovely. Love those stripes!

    We had The Monkees on TV in Australia too. Peter Tork was a talented musician. Condolences to you.
    The polwarth stripes are nice earthy colours. Good luck on your very technical Snowflings. You are braver than me!

    You've got some nice projects in the works! What pattern are you using for the pink socks? And oh my, that does look complicated to knit a lining for mitts! Good luck with the thumbs!

    That's the Mercury pattern from Ravelry. It's free.

    I remember The Monkees very well, and Peter was my favorite.
