Hello for another week! I hope everyone had a nice week and got lots of crafting done!
I had a fairly productive week, although work took up quite a bit of my time! I managed to get a few more rows done on the sleeves of my Rowe Cardigan. I had honestly hoped to finish the sleeves this past week, but didn't... Oh well, maybe this week I will get them done! Here is my progress - from the green marker up:
And I made some progress on my Sockhead Slouch Hat. I moved on to the next color now. I need to practice dying gradient yarns - this isn't really a "gradient". Oh well, I still love the colors! My progress from last week is from the blue marker.
And I got my yarn all dyed up for the Texture Time Mystery Shawl. The first clue was released a few days ago but I have not cast it one yet. Maybe I'll do that this afternoon. Here is the yarn I dyed (the pattern also includes a fluffy yarn, but I forgot to take a picture including that...
I posted my latest podcast yesterday:
And I have posted each day so far in October for Vlogtober!! If you have not had a chance why not check them out?? They are each less than ten minutes long and this morning's vlog includes alpaca butts!
Time to get moving here! Have an amazing week!!
Those colors you have chosen for your mystery shawl are beautiful. I would be so afraid of a mystery KAL. What if I hated the item when finished? What if it was a knitting technique I had never done before and had no clue how to do it? You are so brave to do them. I enjoy watching your items come to life. Just call me chicken little.
ReplyDeleteI love the yarns you dyed! Especially the purple and the pink one! I am really curious to see what this Stephen West shawl will look like. I am not a fan of mysteries, but I like a lot of his designs very much, so I might cast that on when it is not a mystery any longer and you can see a little more what it will look like. Can't wait to see your cast on!
ReplyDeleteExcellent work on dying your yarns - they will look beautiful in your mystery knit I am certain.
ReplyDeleteHow do you do it all? Dyeing your own yarn too....you;re amazing woman! I still have to go watch your podcasts...I will this week...last week I was glued to the senate hearings. Beautiful sleeves! Love the hat too and color of your yarn. I can't wait to see your shawl in those hand-dyed yarns! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYour knits are coming along, but wow - the dyeing is really impressive. I love all your colors. I look forward to catching up with your vlogging!
ReplyDeleteNice colour combo, I look forward to seeing it when its done :)
ReplyDeleteI love how your Rowe is coming along. And your gradient is gorgeous. Can't wait to see your texture time!
ReplyDeleteI so admire people who dye their own yarn. The lack of precise control freaks me out! Love that Robin’s Egg Blue!
