WIP's
My Arne and Carlos socks are looking lovely and coming along nicely.
My peeping cowl is coming along as well. This is just as addictive as the socks as you just want to finish the next section.
I have made good progress on the test knit. I have completed the increase section and am now onto a straight section - here is a teaser shot with one of my new stitch markers.
I have no knitting FO's, but I do have a completed Dominique yay!
Acquisitions
In the absence of yarn acquisitions (I am trying to be good and use some stash) I have been buying stitch markers. You can see one of them on the test knit and another on peeping cowl.
Can I also just mention how much I am enjoying my new Hiya Hiya interchangable bamboo needles? I am loving these so far, the join is seemless and they feel lovely to knit with. I generally use Addi click and I think I will stick with these for larger projects due to the very hardwearing join and the fact they click in, but the Hiya Hiya are gorgeous for smaller projects with the join being so smooth and the cord twisting as you knit.
Anyway, that is about it for this week. Join us here.
Great progress there! I love the yarn you are using for your socks. The fish lips kiss heel sounds interesting :)

ReplyDeleteI just love how the socks are coming along and the cowl also is just gorgeous. Ohhhh isn't that test knit looking fab already and I loved the new stitch markers, I'm a sucker for stitch markers! I've been testing the fixed circulars in the Hiya Hiya and the Chiagoo because I want to get an interchangeable set, I might need to add the Addi click to these also :)
ReplyDeleteLet me know how the fish kiss heel goes. I have the instructions for it but I just can not wrap my head around them. Your progress this week was great and the new skirt is lovely.

ReplyDeleteEverything looks so nice, Lucy. I love the new stitch markers you've gotten. And the Dominique skirt is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove those socks! I have yet to try Arne and Carlos but their yarn is on my list. I love the peeping cowl...is there a pattern and yarn? I love both! Your stitch marker is so cute. I have to get some. Plus, your skirt is so cute! I am wanting to sew so badly but every time I carve out some time there's something more important. I too want to try the fish lips kiss heel on my next pair. Thanks for the info on the needles too.
