Having cast on all the projects in the week, I have made reasonable progress!
First up is Rhombing around - I'm pleased to report I have CO the body - hurrah! I had to take a certain artistic licence as I feared I may run out of my main colour. I need a little for the arms, but now I should be ok.
After much umming and ahhing and starting other patterns I settled on Waving lace by Joji Locatelli. I am nearly at the end of the bottom bit of lace.
I started a new pair of socks, two at a time again as this makes me happy!
Pattern is Cuboid by Claire Devine - I wanted some reasonably straightforward socks that I can knit mindlessly!
Otherwise, we went to a theme park on Thursday to see the animals (my boys aren't thrillseekers - yet).
We carved the pumpkins and went to a party yesterday. Today we are off swimming.
Have a good week, to catch up with more see this
group.
I spy lots of progress and fun and that's what mid-term is about, how why does it have to end just quite so soon!
ReplyDeleteCuboid looks like a very fun and interesting pattern! And I guess we're both in a turquoise sock mood :)
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to try knitting two socks at a time, will have to put this on next years list. Like the choice of colour for your socks. Looks like you have had fun times on the half term break. Have a good week Leah Xxx
ReplyDeleteYour boys are so cute! Love the pumpkin picture. I too need to try the 2 at a time sock adventure but I'm "packing" now to hopefully move so I only do handwork at night when I'm "worn out"! LOL! Love the projects and colors...you get so much done!
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't run out of yarn, usually there is enough right?? just that niggling worry. Lovely knits :) and the kids look cute!
ReplyDeleteRhombing Around looks great! Artistic license should be taken on your sweater it is for you after all ;) I'm never managed to do two socks at a time - do you use Magic Loop or two circulars?
ReplyDeleteI think knitting two socks at a time is genius. I can't imagine mustering the motivation to knit a second sock after finishing the first. Then again, I can't imagine being able to knit socks to begin with. Love the blue of the new socks. :^)
