I meant to blog late last week, but it just didn't happen. We went to the last meeting of the season for the touring cars on Sunday and that put me out for the week - we did have a great time though!
I do now have lots to show.
FO's
I finished Thomas's hat complete with pom pom but I haven't photographed it so you will just have to take my word for it.
I also finished the sock blank socks that are gorgeous - I now really want a Christmas one - I will be looking out for one!
I also finished my Xmas jumper - yay, only 2 years in the making. It went really quickly in the end. I am not happy with the bottom ribbing, since I started it such a long time ago I think I cast on the wrong size. I could rip out the bottom and reknit, but since I will wear this at my mum's at Christmas and at school for festive Friday (I promised my form I would finish it this year) I shall live with it. As an added bonus I have enough yarn to knit Daniel a sweater so I chose Flax by Tin Can Knits. Of course now Daniel has decided he wants the reindeer image on his sweater so we will see what we can do!
WIP's
As a result of my finishing the sweater, I have gone cast on crazy!
I continued with my bluetit socks.
I cast on another hat, this time for my dad...
And I caked up this yarn for a hat for my mum. Both are some Malabrigo worsted that I had in stash.
I cast on some socks for Thomas - Toe up this time so I can make them nice and long for him. Yarn is the Knitting Goddess scooby doo colourway. I am going to do blueberry waffle and fish lips kiss heel (to make a change!)
I have also caked up the yarn for my next sweater - Miranda and the yarn is Madelintosh pashmina worsted in baltic - it's gorgeous and I can't wait to get underway.
Hare is the leftover yarn from the Christmas jumper all ready to be made into Flax with a reindeer twist!
And finally, just because it is ridiculously cute. My friend sent me a picture of her dog in the jumper I knit it - look at him!!

So much yarny goodness. Love the finished socks and your jumper is gorgeous, yay to having enough left over for one for Daniel and I look forward to seeing how you get that reindeer in there. Nothing quite beats a bout of cast ons specially after some cast offs!
ReplyDeleteThe sweater is gorgeous!!!! So many cast ones! I can't get myself to have even a second project cast on. I wish I could.
ReplyDeleteI love it when you can see your finished knits put to good use. It looks like it will keep him very very warm and he is so cute in his new coat. So many exciting new projects and I love your finished makes, especially your christmas jumper.
ReplyDeleteWow, where do I start? Your seater/jumper is so pretty. Love the reindeer. The socks turned out great too. You have lots of lovely yarn and even lovelier plans for all of it. The dog sweater........cute but, the dog steals the show.

ReplyDeleteWhere to start, indeed. The doggy jumper is adorable. So glad to see it modeled - and by such a cute pooch! And that Christmas sweater is just amazing. I love the reindeer. And those socks knitted from the sock blank really are pretty. What a lot of satisfaction you must have had with your knitting recently. So much good stuff!
ReplyDeletethat sweater is gonna be awesome - and the doggy sweater is tooo cute. Love the reindeers.

ReplyDeleteI cannot get over what a prolific knitter you are! The sweater is over the moon gorgeous and I actually like the bottom. I don't care for sweaters where the ribbing hugs you. I love how the sock blank turned out and your bluetit socks are much prettier than when I saw the yarn on someone's podcast. You have casted on a lot but you can handle it....me not so much! LOL! Your yarns are all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteP.S. The puppy is SO cute...looks like my little Annie as a puppy which I never got to see. She needs sweaters in the winter. I had better get busy! What a cute little one in your sweater!
