Hello everyone!! It has been a fun, busy week here. I have a finish and a new cast on!! And I remembered one more pattern that I want to add to my list for 2018-19.
I finished my Miriam socks! I really like these ones! I enjoy color work and especially enjoy when the simple strip pattern! It seems so easy to get into a rhythm when the colors change so evenly! Here is what they look like all done up:
And the Stage 1 pattern for Tour de Sock 2018 (Plan A) came out yesterday so I decided on my yarn and got them cast on! The hints for this design said to go wild with colorful yarn so I had narrowed down my choices to several of my different variegated yarns. I can never really choose a yarn and commit to it before I see the pattern - my choice often changes once I see the actual pattern! Anyway, I cast on and did a bit of knitting! I managed to finish both cuffs and got a start on the first leg. I hope to get quite lot done on this during the upcoming week!
I also worked on some pet snuggles this past week - they make for extra simple TV knitting (I mean crocheting!). I have two finished and a third has been started. Here are the two that are finished (except for the ends that need to be tucked in):
And I remembered one more project that I wanted to include in my list of projects to make this year. It is the Sockhead hat design. I am looking forward to knitting this one up - it seems like a nice, easy knit and I can use up one of my pretty skeins of sock yarn for it!! Which yarn - who knows yet!!
Well that's my progress this first week of YoP 18-19!! Off to see what others have done! Until next week!
Oooo I forgot Tour de Sock started yesterday - I had better go check out the pattern and start my cheerleading. I love the miriams - they are on my list this year too. Yours are beauties.
ReplyDeleteThe Miriam socks are gorgeous and I love the colours in the second pair.
ReplyDeleteI love those Miriam socks. Can't wait to see the other socks you are going to knit for Tour de Sock!
ReplyDeleteThose Miriam socks are wonderful! Did you need more than half a skein of each colour? I’d think so but it would be hard to guess how much more.
ReplyDeleteThe Miriam socks are really pretty and so unusual...I love how you worked yours up in those colors...gorgeous! I cast on socks today and it felt SO GOOD! LOL! Can't wait to see the mystery socks take shape! Have a great week!
