It’s ages since I posted about my knitting. And my WIPs have kind of multiplied. Oops.
Recently finished:
Two dishcloths in this vile pinky red colour. I like them because they’re the same colour as Dreamwidth‘s “Tropospherical red” site theme.
A shawl, from Cheryl Oberle’s “Folk Shawls”. It’s the lacy prairie shawl. A simple triangular pattern, knit point-upwards, like a dishcloth. The lace is a very easy repeat. This was a great stash-buster as it got rid of 10 balls of grey wool that weren’t quite enough for a sweater.
Socks. My basic pattern, with a broken rib. I love this yarn. It’s Rio de la Plata’s “Multi-solid” and it’s three plies in burgundy, mustard, and olive green, making an speckly brown overall.
And now, some new WIPs…
Feather and fan shawl from Oberle’s “Folk Shawls”. I’m using the aran-weight Lanark Mills wool that was left over from my striped cardigan of last year.
Bottom-up birch shawl using this awesome woolly wool that I picked up in Austin when I was there for SXSW. (Um, yes, I have developed a thing for triangular shawls.)
Sideways eyelet scarf, which is curling pretty badly and which I really hope will flatten out with blocking. I wanted something sideways with nice long stretches of not having to think about anything. This is 300 stitches or so, and 7 of the 12 rows in the repeat are plain knitting.
