Yarnalong - Mid term break

I have made it to the mid term break, relatively unscathed!
I have several projects on the needles at the moment.
Firstly, socks for Thomas.  This is his second pair and I am using up some Arne and Carlos yarn by Regia. I am doing a plain vanilla sock and will do a FLKH.
Secondly, socks for me - of course.  These are the march sock club socks from The Knitting Goddess. The pattern is called Dalez (by Rachel Coopey) and the yarn is the added Violet colourway.
I am still making my way through Boxy - I am on the inches and inches of stockinette.  I am hoping that I might be able to get to the sleeves before the first.
I am also reading the Yokes book by Kate Davies which is gorgeous.  I read an article in The Knitter magazine about the Bohus Stickning style of knitting which I loved.  Following on from that led me to this book and as a result I am about to start a KAL with the Yarniacs Podcast called the colors of fall KAL as the jade wool I bought from Coldharbour Mill a couple of months ago to knit Buchanan with is perfect for that.
On the first I am casting on Zinone by Andi Satterlund as part of her outfit along 2016.  I will be making a Dominique skirt by Tilly and The Buttons to accompany it.
I spelt Andi's name very wrong in this photo (apologies again!)  I can't wait to get this underway.
Joining again after a long break with Nicole and Ginny

  1. You certainly are busy. Wow, lots going on. I love the Kate Davies Yokes book. Especially the cover sweater. Which one do you think you'll knit?

    1. I'm going to do Buchanan first, then be brave and knit Epistrophy (it has a steek!)

  2. Bohus knitting fascinates me too - I did a class on it at Knit Nation many years ago and I love the wrist warmers I made. I've got a kit for Wild Apples, I just haven't dared start it yet!!

  4. The Yokes book is so beautiful. And the history of Bohus knitting is fascinating.
