Sensational Knitted Socks - Simple Rib
Wisdom Yarns - "Boston"
#2 dps
This pair of socks has actually been started about three times now. First two times the pattern I picked just wasn't working. I set these aside for quite some time, then Minicon weekend I picked a new pattern cast on and was STILL not happy. I had initially chosen a waffle rib, but with the self striping yarn it just wasn't working out. BUT! When I flipped the sock inside out it was a really nice simple rib. Now working somewhat backwards, it was going well until last night when I managed to confuse myself and had to rip out to the heel turn. Oh well. It's back on track now and I hope to have most of #1 done this weekend if I don't get to busy with yard work.
Leisure Arts - Knifty Knit Dishcloths "Stacked Barrels"
Sugar n' Cream in green
#3 and #4 needles.
I've been experimenting lately with the needle size on my dishcloths. The patterns call for No.7's, and I usually use No.6's, but a co-worker did a cloth from KrisKnits that called for No.3's. I loved how it turned out, so I scampered out and purchased a couple smaller guage needles and waa-la! A nice snug dishcloth. The SIL requested four in "Tuscan" colors and I've finished these two in green. Currently on the needles is number 3 in a beautiful mahogany. Number four will be in an off-white/green/brown earth toneish varigated color.
Eyelash Scarf
#17 needles
I have a purple eyelash scarft that was given to me quite some time ago that I absolutely love for Spring/Fall and for the cooler days in the office (doesn't your office get cold?). I picked a couple skeins up over Minicon weekend from 3 Kittens in Maple Grove and after a few fits getting started (this yarn is a PITA!) I quickly had one knit up. I did 12 sts across and I wish I had done 16 or 18. I may rip it out and re-do, but I do have two more skeins (a varigated blue and a lovely green) to do up first.
