I missed this last week so I have quite a bit of progress to catch up on.
First, I finished the Crazy Square Socks for Al. I converted the Binsenkorbchen pattern to toe up, and used the crazily bright Trekking Hand Art in Brazil as well as King Cole Zig Zag in a dark red.
I finished the first sock, and started the second, of Nick’s Gimli.
This week Sock Madness on Ravelry began. There are seven rounds, each with a pattern we don’t get to see until the challenge begins. After the first round, only those who have finished their pair of socks within two weeks get to progress. Then we get split into teams, and for the remaining rounds only the first certain number of people to finish get to progress until we’re left with one person from each team competing against each other to find the winner. I know I’m not going to be in that final round, but I thought it would be fun and worth a go. So this is my first sock so far.
I also started February Fitted Pullover. I’m holding Wendy Roam double and I really hope I have enough. I should, just about.
I began another project which was a mystery knit-a-long shawl on Ravelry. I’m really not sure I like how it’s turning out though so that’s been put to one side, at least for now.
And finally, I began some sewing. Well, to be precise I started creating a pattern for sewing. I need to buy some appropriate fabric before I actually begin the sewing part, so I have no pretty pictures to show yet.
