Wednesday WIPs: Scratching an Itch
The socks haven't gotten much love this week but I did finish the rainbow Snow Socks for the Grand. His other bigger boy Snow Socks are at the heel.
I've got one more block to go on the first row of the second section of the Hue Shift. I'm so confused as to where this section is going to end up but I'm not going to think too much about it and just trust the process at this point.
The July section of the Doodle Cowl is finished. I said it was going to be a small one and it is. August will be pinecones so it will be another bigger one.
As for that itch, I had my heart set on starting another Pi Shawl with some handspun but it didn't work out so I pulled out all the mini sock yarns I could find in the stash. They were leftover from baby socks. I was sad to see that Knit Picks doesn't have any more of these mini sets but I did order one from another vendor so I would have a better variety of color to work with. I know I said no more sock yarn but if it's not meant for socks that doesn't really count, right? Right?
Those are lovely socks and the cowl is quite nice. It's often best to trust the process and see how things end up. That Hue Shift strip is pretty. I'm of the opinion that sock yarn doesn't count as stash, no matter what you use it for.
ReplyDeleteI haven’t had socks on my needles for a month. Today might be a good day to raid my sock yarn stash.
ReplyDeleteLove the rainbow socks!
ReplyDeleteGlutton for punishment maybe, with another Pi? 😉
ReplyDeleteLove the rainbow socks. The Hue shift is beautiful. Sock yarn never counts in the stash. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I went to dye yarn with a friend yesterday so now i have 2 new skeins of sock yarn in my collection.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! The Pi shawl will be so pretty in leftover (and new) sock yarns!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh sock yarn, it has such a siren song but the Pi shawl will be a lovely project.
