Ok, enough of that. And onto the knitting. . . .
I mentioned earlier that I turned my Penny Rose socks into anklets so that I could try to squeeze a second pair out of the yarn at a later date. Here is anklet pair number one:
But enough about the socks. I finished something else in recent days:
Here are a couple pictures of the back. First we have the yarn being carried up the side:
The Chevron Scarf Specs:
The Pattern: Chevron Scarf from Last Minute Knitted Gifts
The Yarn: One skein STR mediumweight in Chapman Springs (a Christmas gift!) and one skein STR mediumweight in Sherbert (won in a contest on Knitspot!)
The needles: Size 5
The result: Awesome!
After all those FOs what is a girl to do but to start wildly casting on yet more projects? This time though I was able to finish them about as quickly as I started. Last night I managed to knit two Calorimetry headbands.
Calorimetry, The First:
There may be a Calorimetry, The Third, in my knitting bag right now. I don't know, it's one of those patterns I just want to knit a million times. At this rate I will be able to gift the greater Chicagoland area with headwear for Christmas!
Anyway, that's all for now. Tonight I am going to try a new knitting group in the Elk Grove Village area. I am excited, but honestly, I am more excited for tomorrow, when I get to meet Sheila!
Happy knitting! :)
I love the socks and scarf! You have been a productive knitter!
ReplyDeleteI think you and I have the same taste in knitting. I'm currently working on the chevron scarf & just today went through my stash for the perfect yarn for the calorimetry.
ReplyDeleteYour projects look great!
Your chevron scarf is awesome! I love the bright colors. It's so happy.
ReplyDeleteJ'adore your Chevron! One of these days, I'll cast on for another.
ReplyDeleteChevron is lovely. If it matches nothing, it also matches everything. Or maybe that's the problem with my sense of style.
ReplyDeletePlease tell me that you didn't use your hand-dyed for those? Cause if you did, I feel inadequate. Well, okay, so I haven't tried hand-dyeing yet but I've seen other peoples' results and they aren't reassuring.
ReplyDeleteI'll make sure to check out your etsy shop!
oohhhh the scarf came out beautifully!
