Wednesday WIPs: Going Straight

 

I knit so much during the Olympics that I don't have much interest in it right now but I have been trying to get a few rows finished on the Glennis Cowl and the Hue Shift thing every day. Both got taken off of their circulars and put on straight needles recently. I haven't used my straight needle sets in ages but these two projects work much better on them.



I love my shiny new Options set but those sharp points hurt my fingers with some projects so wood it is for now.



The socks I'm working on don't look much different and neither does the ski sweater but I have put a few doodles on the Doodle Cowl. I'm going to try to get one pattern block a month finished and when the holidays roll around and I'm tempted to start another stocking that I don't need or have room for, I'll pick up this instead. Sounds like a plan.

    Everything is white and gray here, so I'm enjoying the colors in your Hue Shift and the colors of those needles. I like sharp needles, but I have a callus on my pointer finger from pushing the tips.

      I do too. Between that and the hand quilting pokes on my left hand, my fingers are a raggedy mess.

    Hue shift is going to be sooo pretty! Those colours are so cheerful!

    I love the colors of the needle set but I gave up on interchangeables a long time ago.

    I like your needles. I've been debating getting more cables for my interchangeables but they seem to break way too often. I'm re-thinking what I'll do.
    Blessings,
