Shades of Grey

Once again, my knitting picture appears to be dominated by grey yarn *laughs*



Good thing I love the colour grey really!

The only splash of colour comes from the gorgeous emerald green yarn (that appears teal in this picture *sigh*) that is part of my Stripe Study Shawl. As it's part of a knitalong, progress was updated yesterday, but I put it in today's picture so there was at least some colour *laughs*

Gran's scarf has only progressed a tiny bit, and boyfriend's sock appears to have stalled again. Sorry darling ;) I did finish my 2 at a time socks over the weekend though, so they will reappear on Friday.

The most progress (aside from finishing my socks - the fastest socks I think I've ever knit!), has been on my Narragansett. I've done most of the body now, and have started the detail on the hip.


I have about another inch or 2 to go with that before I start the bottom ribbing. I'm really pleased this is coming along so quickly, I can't wait to finish it!

All the progress does come at a cost though... I have no book on the go at all right now.

As ever, if you want more lovely knitting and (actual) reading content, head to Tami's and Ginny's *smiles*

  17. It is so hard to balance both Knitting and Reading. One always slacks while the other gains lots of progress!
    All your WIP's look lovely and seem to coming along nicely! :)

  18. I love that soft grey. It's not a boring shade at all!

  19. I love grey too - so versatile and chic :)

    I have a hard time with the knitting:reading ratio - I only have a couple of hours after the kids are in bed so it's one or the other, as I still haven't managed to master doing them simultaneously

    Looking forward to your socks on Friday!

  20. I really dislike grey; but that Narrangansett looks like a lovely silver color :)

  21. I love grey too, so no worries there. Gran's scarf looks pretty - can't wait to see more of it. But it sounds like you're so close on Narangasett that I'd keep pushing along with that!

  22. Yay, a fellow grey obsessive! Can't wait to see more of your Narragansett, as well as the socks on Friday!

  23. Hi! Found your blog through Tami's WIP Wednesdays. I love how your Narangasett is coming along. That's next on my list of things to knit. Can't wait to see how your sweater turns out!

  24. I am slightly envious that you can keep so many knitting projects on the go at the same time. I would never finish anything. Well, maybe something, but not often enough. I like natural undyed grey. Thinking about it, I've not knitted grey jumper for a long time. Doesn't suit me, but maybe someone else.

  25. I have been drawn to gray lately. A good neutral IMO. The shawl is on my list. I am just waiting for the yarn to arrive.
