As you can see, I have made some progress on my sock - the weather has taken a turn for the worse, temperature-wise, so alpaca socks now seem like an excellent project *laughs* I have another few rows to go before turning the heel.
My other main project is the cardigan I wrote about recently. Despite the long purl rows, not my favourite thing at all, I have completed a fairly large chunk of knitting:
Not bad, huh? It's currently about bust length on me, so I still have a long way to go, but I'm really pleased with how it is shaping up so far.
I love the felted tweed fabric, I can totally see why people rave about this yarn (even if it does cover me in fibres as I'm working!)
And the subtle stripes that I was hoping would work - well, I'm really happy with them. I think it works really well:
Pop over to Tami's and Ginny's for more lovely knitting and reading content, and have a lovely day *smiles*
*yeah, so I seem to be lacking title inspiration this morning!
The cardigan is look lovely, I like tweedy yarns too but find them a little scratchy :-S
