Work In Progress Wednesday Number 15

This week will, for a change, bring pictures of a few WIPs I haven't posted about for a little while. The last couple of weeks have been dominated by boyfriend's socks and the log cabin blanket, neither of which have had much attention this week. So, new content *grins*


And I'm posting a WIPs plus book photo to join in again with Ginny's Yarn Along. I had a lot of fun finding new blogs last week, and adding books to my must-read list. 

Onto the WIPs. Well, as I said, this week I have been working on a couple of neglected things (and something new, but we'll get to that in a minute *laughs*). So, Cria has had some attention, and I have now finished the yoke and am ready to divide for the sleeves. 


Not a great photo as I was in a bit of a rush, but it looks a bit longer than last time! I'm loving the stitch definition of this yarn, it's so crisp (Jaeger Monte Cristo, unfortunately now discontinued). 

My sock has also been progressed, and I've now turned the heel and moved onto the gusset section (I really hate the word gusset for socks, it seems so wrong *laughs*)


And, as if I didn't have enough projects on the needles, I decided to cast on something new. I was in a bad mood, and wanted to start knitting a hat. So I did ;) 


It's (a slightly modified version of) this "Coffee Beenz Hat", using yarn I received in a swap. More details will follow when it is finished, which shouldn't really take very long. I love using aran/worsted weight after knitting socks, everything grows so quickly!

You can find Ginny here, and the ever lovely Tami, host of WIP Wednesdays, here.

    Beautiful knitting. I'm starting a pair of socks for my husband -- I had forgotten how long socks take! but I'm enjoying the process.

    It is fun to do a few things in chunkier yarns on bigger needles. It grows really fast! You've got a nice variety of colours on your needles.

    Beautiful stuff! I'm especially in love with the yarn in your sock -- it's so cheery! And I really like the idea of knitting to chase off a bad mood. It's probably a better choice than chocolate...

    Love the sweater, looks like one I might be able to do, could you add link? Thanks for the visit and comment both are appreciated. I understand completely starting something new to elevate the mood.

    The more socks I see through WiP Weds, the more jealous I get :) They're coming along nicely! (And I'm glad I'm not the only one to cast on in order to battle a bad mood)

    Love the colour of your Cria! Such a shame when you discover a great yarn that's been discontinued.

    Just popped back to say "Are you mad" commission knitting, hell NO. It's my Dad's girlfriend, her friend wanted me to make a baby bundle for her to give as a present. I said sure but I'm not buying the yarn she has to. But instead she gave me the money to buy the yarn, I could never sell my knitting, that would take all the fun out of it.

    I like it. I knitting project to suit each mood. Hope the hat project helped. I'm knitting socks at the moment. Usually use dpns, but I'm using two for the first time. Could be the yarn, but I think it is quicker for me!
