Seventh Year of Projects - Week 19

Week 19!!  WOW!  I am happy to still be keeping up with this!

I have had a fairly productive week.  I finished my Vanilla Socks for John.  I now need to decide if I will save them to give him for Christmas or if I will give them to him now...  I'm leaning towards saving them for a Christmas gift.

I also made some great progress on my Mystery Shawl.  It is all scrunchy and unblocked but is almost done!!  I am ready to do row 279 out of 292 - only 14 rows left to do - but every second row increases the stitch count by one so it keeps getting bigger!  A little over 2000 stitches left to knit!  I am hoping to finish this up after church today - it is all I plan to knit on for the rest of the day!

This week coming up I plan to tackle my Coffee Cantata socks - let's see if I can get closer to finishing those off!!  And the second clue in the Mystery Socks will be out on Wednesday so I will be on that this week as well!  I am trying to refrain from casting on something new and am struggling!!  Especially if I have two finished objects in the past little while (well one finished and one nearly done).  I really want to cast on the second pair of Selbu mittens...  Stay strong Karen, stay strong!

Seventh Year of Projects - Week 18

Hello everyone!!  Back for another week!  I had a fairly productive week although not as many pictures to show as last week!

I finished Clue Number 3 on my Mystery Shawl (from the orange marker forward):

I made some more progress on Coffee Cantata:

And I got some more done on my Vanilla Socks for John.

Sorry for the poor quality pictures - it has been dark and rainy here all day...

Hopefully next week I can show you my Mystery Shawl all completed!!  And maybe John's Vanilla socks too!  We shall see!

Seventh Year of Projects - Week 17

Hello everyone!  Back for another weekly update!  17 weeks in a row!!!  I am happy that I am keeping up with this!  I had a productive week - especially compared to last week (when we had company and had fun with them instead of crafting much).

I kept caught up with my Temperature Scarf.  This thing is going to be a monster once we get to the end of the year!  My progress since the last picture is from the orange marker forward.

I finished clue number 2 on the Mystery Shawl and got a start on Clue number 3!  This picture shows Clue Number 2.  I am really enjoying this knit although each clue is taking longer as the width of the shawl is growing!

I spent some time on John's Vanilla Socks and am happily cruising down the second foot now.

I also spent some time working on my BAMKAL and BAMCAL squares.  I finished both of the October BAMKAL squares and all my BAMCAL squares!!  I am impressed with myself at finishing all of the October squares in October!

October Main BAMKAL square:

October Alternate BAMKAL square:

October Main 12 Inch BAMCAL Square:

October 12 Inch Filler BAMCAL Square:

October 6 Inch BAMCAL Squares (made four of them):

For the next week I plan to continue working on my Mystery Shawl - the final clue comes out on Friday.  I also plan to keep up with my temperature scarf and hope to finish at least one of my two Socktober socks!

Seventh Year of Projects - Week 15

Week 15!  I am amazed I am keeping up with this so well!!  I have had another good week.

I kept pace with my Temperature Scarf and am now over 75% complete with that!  I am happy to see the yellows and greens showing up (instead of the reds for the hotter temperatures!)

I joined up with a group on Ravelry for Socktober with the goal of completing our single socks to make pairs.  I have three pair I plan to work on this month and will be happy if I finish two of them!  This week I did work on the two pair and made some progress on each.

Thanks to everyone who encouraged me not to frog these pink cabled socks - I am finally making some progress on them!!  Heel flaps and turns are complete and one set of gusset decreasing is about one third done.

I didn't get a picture taken of the second one but I did get from have one sock complete and the second part way along the leg to the point where I am working on the gusset decreases.  I'll aim for some more pictures next week!

On Friday the first clue in a mystery shawl I joined was released so I had to cast that on!  I had dyed the yarn for this earlier in the week and have finished the first clue.
