These are all projects I've started in the last week or so. I have gotten surprisingly far on them in very little time while still keeping up with school. It helps that I can knit through the lecture I TA for, I suppose. :) Or that I can read and knit mindlessly on a few of them. This one isn't really a mindless one. It's perfect for procrastination. It's the Textured Shawl Recipe in Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Worsted. I am nuts about this color (Nebula)! I want to live in it!
These are the beginning of some stash-busting legwarmers from a Jane Richmond pattern. They have been knit almost entirely in the lecture I mentioned. I started them yesterday.
And these I started two weeks ago, so they are the eldest of these projects. Socks for John. I improvised a pattern using a toe-up heel flap. I'm finishing gusset decreases and the heel seems to have worked. I did the short-rows of the heel-turn backwards, though. Live and learn! In any case, they fit.
Have you ever knit elastic into the cuff of a sock before? John requested it in these and all future socks. I think I know what to do (just hold the elastic with the yarn for the last few rows and bind-off), but I'd love any advice you can give me!
For more WIP Wednesday posts, go to Tami's Amis! Oh, and the Downton KAL wraps up today with a post over at luvinthemommyhood if you want to see all the gorgeous knits from it. You can see a sneak-peek of my Downton Cowl. :)

ReplyDeleteThanks! Maybe not as speedy as you! :) Yes, the House Cup is enormously motivating! You'd probably rack up loads of points for all your market knitting. ;)
