We are all back home now - feeling a little sad that the holiday is nearly over, but there are a few days left. I got a little knitting done on holiday, mostly on the socks.
Curiosa are nearly done!! I have a few more rounds on the foot to go, then I'm onto the toe - I hope to finish these today.
Rather than knitting, I have been dreaming about my next projects, even though I have a thousand already set up and on my list!! I have updated my list slightly as a result.
Second set of additions is for sewing. I have been following Sarah from Crafts from the cwtch and she has made lots of sailor tops by fancy tiger crafts. So I have signed up for creativebug and got the pattern as well as the tutorial and I have lined up lots of fabric to make lots (I'm hoping I like it!)
The pink gingham I want to use to make pyjama bottoms, the purple tartan I want to use to make a skirt, and all of the others I will use to make sailor tops!!

From way back looks gorgeous, that is going to be such a pretty cardigan and you know I love your Curiosa, I can't wait to be through all my self striping sock yarns so that I can get more solid colours and knit myself a pair!
ReplyDeleteYour socks are coming along nicely, I really love that colour
ReplyDeleteLike Ruth, I was going to comment in the From Way Back cardigan. It looks fabulous ;). I am looking forward to seeing how yours turns out!
ReplyDeleteFrom Way Back is a lovely pattern ... I had it faved for a while until I remembered that I don't knit cardigans and don't wear cardigans, LOL!
ReplyDeleteStill love the socks!
Your socks are great - pattern and color choice. I'll bet you're itching to get those off the needles. I too am dreaming about other projects that aren't on my list. I blame Ravelry and all those productive designers who keep listing new patterns. I hope you like the Sailor top. I love the red, blue and white fabric. It reminds me of crewel needlework designs.
ReplyDeleteI still love those socks!
ReplyDeleteI really must learn how to do magic loop. I would love to finish two socks at the same time!
Those socks are awesome! Like Ruth, it makes me want to do a solid color now. Your cardigan is going to be gorgeous. So glad you had a great holiday and especially with a few days to spare! Good luck at school boys!
ReplyDeleteOooh, Lucy...I love that From Way Back sweater. And I really like the turquoise of the sock yarn. Hope you get them finished today!
