Next is this amorphous white blob. Will it be a hat? A broach? A pteradactyl? Any guesses?
Last, but certainly not least, is my first sockapal2za sock, almost three quarters of the way done. The top, one side, and half the heel are done, and I'm up to row 73 out of a total of 96. It's starting to take on a rather sock-ish shape thanks to short rows and increases at the point of the heel area. I decided to make the sole and heel area flat stockingette rather than continuing the seed stitch as the pattern directs, since it seemed rather bumpy and uncomfortable if worn with shoes. Also gives me a nice stretch of plain knitting, which is a welcome relief at the end of a row. I have loved watching this sock emerge - it has been very unlike making a sock from the top or from the bottom. I'm tempted to try making up slippers in a similar fashion. Why? Because I can.
Love your new digs - very nice!
ReplyDeleteI keep looking at the Kiri shawl - and, I even have yarn for a lacy, shawl-type project, I just can't get myself motivated :)
Thanks! Just moved everything over, though I haven't figured out how to put up a gallery yet. Working on that.
ReplyDeleteHey, nice new digs!
ReplyDeletePerhaps you meant Cherry Tree Hill? Otherwise I need to find the yarn you are talking about because it looks great!
Ahem. Yep, I meant Cherry Tree Hill. I need more sleep :-P
ReplyDeleteWow that sock is so cool! This is so neat to watch it progress side-to-side.
