Since I couldn't do much of anything else last week I did end up doing a lot of knitting. I can do that in a comfortable position. In spite of all the time I put in, nothing looks very different except Old Chestnut. Here I've laid it on top of Bon Ami to see how much further I need to go. I did finish one more pattern repeat and am halfway through another. It looks like I still have about 8 inches to go before I can connect the shoulders though.
The something new is the sock yarn from Miss Bab's that came in the mail yesterday. I think this skein is prettier than any of the ones I had in my hand at the MDSW so I'm glad I did the online thing instead of fighting the crowd. Now I've got to get the socks I already have on the needles off the needles so I can cast this beauty on.
Those two sweaters are amazing and beautiful. They look so complicated! Pretty new yarn!!
ReplyDeleteBoth Bon Ami and Old Chestnut are gorgeous and I'll be interested in seeing what that Miss Babs yarn looks like once you cast on. Knit faster!
ReplyDeleteProgress is being made on the knitted sweater! The new sock yarn is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe the beauty in those two sweaters. I wish I could do color work like you do. It's amazing and intricate and it makes my head hurt just thinking of trying to figure that pattern out. Ha!
ReplyDeleteAnd that sock yarn! The colors! The beautifulness! Is that a word? My favorites all together in the perfect tones.
Blessings and hugs,

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely subtle fair isle garment. Enjoy the sock yarn. Sometimes I just leave it out to look at the colors.
