Here's something unusual-I cast on a new pair of socks for a change! I usually make a pair a month but haven't knit any socks for a few months! It is going well, though,
and striped yarn is always pleasing to work with!
I also cast on for a newborn's sweater--I've made so many of these sweaters and I am doubting myself about the size--it is REALLY small. I forget how tiny newborns can be!
And I gave the intarsia-like crochet work a try-chosing to make just a sample from the pattern. Other than not having enough contrast between the two colors for the star-I found I am glad I tried this kind of work but I will be checking this one off my list of skills and leaving it at that! Too many strands to keep track of and ends to weave in! lol But I did it!
Oh my! What a tiny, tiny sweater!!
ReplyDeleteThe sock yarn is so bright and cheerful. I've finished three pair so far this year and have a third pair on the needles. I've done a bit of intarsia in both knitting and crochet. And although I really do like the finished projects in both, it's just not worth the stress and lack of comfort to me. I play with yarn to relax, not stress. Some people seem so good at it that it seems like they are relaxed during the entire process.
ReplyDeleteTake care and have a great Monday.

Love the self-striping yarn! Pretty colors and a nice burst of color.
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet little projects! I'm always the same way with baby patterns. If I don't have the baby in front of me I never think the size is right.
ReplyDeleteLove the new sock colors! I will be amazed at how small Rowdy is compared to Squish when he arrives! And will act like I don't know how to hold such a little one. LOL.
