Wednesday WIPs: On the Balls

 

You'd think with all this down time I'd have a lot of knitting done but I don't. I get a little window in the mornings where I feel human again and then it's all downhill from there. Slowly but surely I've been turning heels on socks while sitting on my big exercise ball. More on that later.



I should have had this row finished on the Hue Shift but I ripped it all out again when the blocks didn't intersect correctly. The solid color blocks are the hardest to get right I'm finding. The red one still isn't where I would like it so I'm most likely going to be ripping it out again after I finish writing this post. 



I'm happier with the April doodle on the Doodle Cowl. I'm going to start the May doodle as soon as I figure out what it will be. 




As for the balls, I was asked a question about them yesterday so here's the details. The big one is a Trideer Large. I use it to sit on when I knit and do core strengthening exercises. I've had it since 2021 and it replaced the one I had in my classroom for many years before that. Lucille Ball is a Fitvid Medium. Right now I'm only using it for decompression exercises. I got them both from Amazon. Hope this helps!

  1. I do like those socks! The colors are beautiful and I can even see "pictures" in the blue-green ones. I'm not sure if they are loons, waves, or shark fins, but they are entertaining!

  2. I have a deflated ball in my closet! I should get it out and have Fletch pump it up for me. The socks look great and I love your doodle cowl.

  5. Great projects! I like them all and I think the blanket looks great. You are much more precise than I am. :-) I should be better.
    Blessings and hugs,
