I am ready for a new project but I know I shouldn't start anything new. I have a few things on the needles right now. Not one close to being finished. The sotsii stole is, of course, still in progress. I am working on a pair of socks for my dad and that Log Cabin blanket is still not finished. You know the one. The one that was supposed to be a Christmas gift for my in laws. I pulled it out of its bag the other day and worked a few rows. Garter, garter, and more garter is just do boring.
I am making my dad this pair of Thuja's.
(He has a small foot. They will fit. They are big on me. Really.)
I only work on them a bit here and there. It's my traveling project. Always in my bag, not really ever worked on at home. I am past the gusset on the first sock. Yay. Should be smooth sailing on the foot for awhile. Dad's birthday is at the end of March. I have some time.
So, I have a couple patterns that I am looking at to start. A baby bolero from One Skein for a friend who is due in May. Also, this has caught my eye. So cute.
Tangled Yoke. I have been wanting to make this for awhile but couldn't bring myself to buy the yarn. Well, I bought some yarn from someone on Ravelry. 8 skeins of Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool in a really pretty brown. I will either use it for the Tangled Yoke or for Patti.
Very hard decision to make.
Love the color of the socks! I may change patterns yet for Hubby's new socks!
ReplyDeleteI get bored with garter stitch too although sometimes there's nothing better than "mindless" knitting.
ReplyDeleteThe socks look sooo cozy. Oooh you're using the dreaded magic loop. Why am I so afraid
Ooo! we could have matching Pattis once we get around to finishing some of our current projects...lol....
ReplyDeleteI really like that yarn! Nice colour, nice texture, just nice!
