I woke up this morning with a case of Finishitupus, so I'm making the most of it. Knitting WIPs and UFOs have been rounded up. This is the start of a pair of fingerless mitts. When I bought this yarn, I didn't know sock yarn has nylon or something similar in it for durability. This is is 100% merino, so wouldn't last long before going in holes. It's the beginning of a pair of fingerless mittens.
Another pair just need thumbs.
It has an interesting twist, so may add a bit of texture. However it turns out, it will definitely brighten my day!
A partial cardigan sleeve turned up in an odd place. The fronts are complete and the back is started, so it's about half way through.
This scarf in Old Shale is being frogged and reknit on larger needles so the center will shine. It's not going to look like anything special until it is finished and wet blocked, when the yarn will relax and the pattern will come into its own.
I had no luck getting a decent photo of the yarn color, so swiped a pic from Miss Babs website. The colorway is Dark Fury. There's more dark than pink in mine, but you get the idea.
One last ball of the shawl yarn turned up in the same bag as the cardigan sleeve.
The sock leg is only 1/4 inch longer, so doesn't look that much different than the last pic.
There's a tiny start on Arne and Carlos' Easter Bunny in the cotton yarn that was originally for the toe up socks. That was during a bout of startitus last evening. How quickly things can change overnight!
This is the perfect mix of projects and will keep me amused for a while. I've got the itch to finish projects before the end of the year. The quilt pile is next. If previous years are anything to go by, there should be a bit of a dent in the WIP/UFO piles.
That should be enough to keep you busy and out of trouble for a day or two - LOL - ;))
