Wednesday WIPs

 

I'm on a roll this week with finishing things. The Gummiberry socks are done. 



I've already cast on another pair of Static in the Seascape colorway. It's been sitting in the project bag I brought home from the MDSW last year and since this year's festival is this weekend I thought I might actually get around to using them both for the first time.




The second Bon Amie sleeve is fixed and finished. 





Now I have to start weaving in all those ends. I still got a few inches left to do on the body so it's going to be my summer project. 






What I don't have to show off is a finished bathroom. We had a glitch in one corner that The Mister kept making worse because he's hard headed and wouldn't listen to my suggestions.





There's a big gap in that corner and he thought it would be a good idea to stuff the gap with wood shims. The only problem is that the shims bled through the joint compound. He spent days fretting over it and stuffing more stuff in the corner.




He finally gave up yesterday and just did what I've said to do all week which was to use an inside corner bead. I didn't make it up, I looked it up. Did I mention The Mister is hard headed and has to do everything his way at least a dozen times before he gives up and takes any advice? Men. Anyway, it worked so it’s back to work on the rest of it.

  1. Look at you finishing all (or at least many) things! The Gummiberry socks look great and Bon Amie is beautiful, even inside out with all those ends. Men do seem to have a marked tendency towards being knot-headed; I know several of them who are just like Mister!

  2. LOVE the gummiberry socks and the next static color looks wonderful too. Congrats on the sleeve finish (what an awful lot of ends...).

  3. Love the gummiberry socks! I almost cast on with a skein of Static before I cast on my Sanderson pair... it was a hard decision - both yarns are so nice!

  4. Beautiful projects but that Bon Amie is a stunner! I cannot do colorwork for the life of me so I'm quite envious of your work!
