I think a fair bit has probably changed - I finished my Berwick jumper/sweater and my Ice Cream Waffle socks (one or both will appear on Friday *grins*) and I have ripped out my diagonal stripe socks. They just weren't working for me and I want to make sure the lovely yarn gets the right pattern.
Also since I last posted a project round-up, I have started and finished a shawl. I'm quite excited about it, but again, I'll save that for a Friday ;)
So, current projects...
I'm still working on my Celestarium, although I haven't actually done more than a couple of rows in weeks. I think the combination of 4 charts plus beading apparatus makes it a bit more of an undertaking than I've been in the mood for lately.
Frogging my socks meant that I had an opening for new socks - I can't not have socks on the needles *laughs* These are my Vegas socks - using yarn I bought in, wait for it, Las Vegas.
After finishing my last shawl, I have been quite taken with the idea of knitting lots of them, so I cast on another ;) The pattern is Firiel, and the yarn is Nooch, and it is so very squooshy that I want to buy many, many more skeins *laughs*
It doesn't look like much now, but when it is blocked it'll be lovely, honest!
Lovely to have you back! All looking great too - that sock yarn looks delicious! x
ReplyDeleteYour work looks promising and what a beautiful yarn you use!
ReplyDeleteI love the name of your sock yarn! Very cool colours too. Nice to have you back :)

Both yarns look gorgeous. I nearly signed on for test knitting that shawl pattern. I know I will get round to knitting it one day as I have plenty of yarn that would be perfect. I can't wait to see your version all blocked and beautiful.
ReplyDeletelove the shawl yarn and the pattern, looks like a fun knit!
ReplyDeleteThe sock and shawl are lovely! I really like the Tofutsies yarn. The socks feel even better after they're washed.
ReplyDeleteHappy to have you back! Love your socks! I knit a pair from tofuties, and after a while, they stretched out a bit (because of the cotton). So, if you're between sizes, I'd go for smaller :)
ReplyDeleteLooking great!
I made tofutsie socks. I love them -- I have to warn you though, mine shrunk! I didn't pay attention to the wash instructions on the ball band, and ran them through the dryer. They still fit, but they aren't as lovely as they were before they shrunk. Perhaps now they'll be tougher. Anyway, hope you like yours!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a big update on Friday! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI've seen some finished Celestarium and they're gorgeous, but I can see how it might all be a bit much when you just want a relaxing knit. Haven't tried Tofutsie yarn, but I'm going to have to look out for it!
I love the colors you're working with!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!

I love that green yarn, it's the perfect shade! Don't you love when you step away from blogging for a little while and then realise you have so much to catch up on because you got so much knitting done??
ReplyDeleteHah! The mind meld is complete. Your love of sock knitting has crept into my brain and now I have passed on to you my insatiable appetite for knitting shawls.
ReplyDeleteI like your colours!
ReplyDeleteA knitter after my own heart, go to Vegas, buy yarn.
ReplyDeleteYou've been so busy!! Lovely projects
ReplyDeleteI am really interested in the yarn you chose for the socks... the fact it has chitin in it AND is soft really intrigues me.
ReplyDeleteLove the projects too - the colors are very nice!
Love how you go for color!
