It started when the
Pandamonium hat made it's debut on Ravelry, causing me to contemplate colorwork hats...so I remembered that I wanted to get some dk or worsted yarn to make an adult version of
The Hedgehog Hats to match
the mittens kit I have which meant digging the kit out of my knitting stash bins so I could find yarn colors for the hat that match the mittens.
This led me to unearthing the yarns for:
The Taming of the Shrug, (Flaming Kate model of course):
The Smithfield sweater, (modified a bit):
The Berkeley sweater, so simple and elegant:
A sweater worth of lovely sport weight, superwash wool in a burgundy red that I decided needed to become a
Blaster:
And enough yarn in a similar color, though different gauge and base is on it's way to make an
Aiken
Why yes, I do have a knit designer crush on
Andi Satterlund. Can you really disagree? Her stuff is wonderful!
Really, this is what happens when I start getting close to finishing a sweater.
Petrichor is close to being done. I keep trying it on, which slows down the knitting process, but makes me happy and less put off about knitting sleeves.
The first sleeve is actually complete now, but it's been over cast and I haven't gotten a better picture.
I also dug out a long hibernating work in progress, that I neglected to take pictures of. Honestly, it looked so sad, I didn't have the heart to document it's neglect. What it will be, is a lovely
Viola in black with deep, jade green edges...once I finish work on it.
The fabric for my Halloween dress arrived too.
The pattern pieces for the dress I'm going to make out of it are all drafted and cut out. It now means stopping knitting long enough to cut out the fabric and start sewing!
