On The Needles–Feb 15, 2013

Last night I started a new washcloth.  I thought I’d try to incorporate the Yarn Harlot’s One Row Scarf stitch pattern.  In December I made a neck warmer for myself using this pattern. 

I’m using my size 7 US circular needles and Peaches and Cream 100% cotton yarn. 


 

Then there’s the dreaded gray socks.  I started knitting these socks in November and then set them aside until after the holidays.  I remember starting one heel, goofing up and then taking it out.  I started over again, but didn’t follow through with completing the heel at the time.  I set it down again for a couple of weeks.  Well, I just finished frogging it out for the second time.  I need quiet time to concentrate and just knit both sock heels so I can move on to the easy part, knitting the legs.  We’ll see if that happens this week or not.



Funny how different lighting changes the color of what you’re photographing.  This sock looks more blue than gray in this pic.

I’m linked up with Patchwork Times, On The Needles this week.  Be sure to go check out what other’s have on their needles.

Happy Knitting,

On The Needles - Oct 5, 2012

Done!  Yeah.  Actually, I finished these blue striped socks last week but forgot to make a blog entry.  I have yarn to make another couple pair of socks and wool for felted slippers.  I just haven't decided which project to start next.  I've been reading a lot about the skype socks and got the pattern off Ravelry.  It looks easy and the pattern would be a step up from the plain stockinette I've been doing.  At this point I'm favoring the short-row toe and heel shaping.
