What could it be? Hmmm.
That looks like fun. Oh, look! Something delicious is next to it!
Well, look at that! A stunning new yarn from my favorite yarn dyer, Earth and Empress! And it's called Pumpkin Patch!
And if you think this is pretty, take a look at this one. I didn't buy it yet because I have enough yarn to stock a shop, but my resistance is weakening. Lavender Earl Grey!
2 more blocks today. I'm the world's slowest quilter because I don't sew assembly-line style. I like to choose my fabrics as I go along. It's the best part of the process. Speed? Meh. Pretty? Yep.
They do look wonky, and probably are, but when assembled, quilted, and washed and crinkled, they will look just fine. I think I'm the Wonky Quiltarian.
Second pair of socks finished since Sept. 1. The goal is to make 12 pairs of socks from 9/1/2020 - 9/1/2021. I believe I will succeed. This pair is for the Little Kid. 56 sts on size 0 (2mm) needles. The next pair for him will be done on 2.25mm needles. The skinny minny needles hurt my hands. Yarn is from Opal.
Next pair for him will be helix socks using 3 yarns. I'll post when I have a decent amount knitted.
Quilting. Yes it's still going on, but slowly. I'm obsessed by the knitting. Here are 2 recent blocks. This log cabin quilt will be for TLK (the little kid), since he's asked for one for months now.
I finished her a few days ago, and washed and blocked her. Isn't this a cute raglan? Palette yarn from Knit Picks. The green is spearmint and I don't remember what the pink and white are. But all Palette.
Size 6 needle because I wanted a loose drape. About 5 skeins of the green and a smidgen of the others. Approx 38" around.
Because it's so loosely knitted, it feels like a gentle cloud on my body. It's a perfect sweater for the chilly weather this time of year. This is not a winter sweater. Brrrr.
What am I working on: a pair of socks for the Little Kid, plus a sweater for him, also. No raglans, alas. He doesn't like how the neckline feels in them. So all sweaters will be bottom up with sleeves worked top-down. Pictures coming eventually.
Quilting? What's that?
Here you go: a brand new sweater.
The green sweater has a couple more days of knitting and then blocking. It's cute.
