My oldest UFO
Tonight I received the new issue of Cast On in the mail. And reading the article about the new instructions for the Master Knitter’s program, I remember that I started that once and never sent it off. In fact, I did everything but write the report, even though I knew exactly what I wanted it to say. I think it’s been about 2 years, so there’s no way I could take it up again without redoing all the swatches. Anyway, I guess I should ask for a new set of directions and see if I want to take it up again.
However, I am making progress with some of my other UFOs.
I picked up Mermaid again. I think my gauge might be a little too loose now, but I think it will look okay in the end. I’m almost to the last page of my spreadsheet and I laid it out last night and I think it’s gonna measure up okay. Hopefully I’ll finish the body for real soon.
And over the weekend, I had some knitting time while waiting for and during a pedicure, so I made some progress on the third installment of Rockin’ Socks.
Here’s 2 repeats of the pattern:
It’s lacey and open, but really looks like ribbed entrelac:
As for the 2nd installment, they still need buttons. I thought I had the buttons, but I realized that I only have 3 buttons, not 4. So I need to go shopping, and I need some quality time with box of neglected knitting.
In the meantime, here’s what I did with some of the leftovers of Fairgrounds:
I’ve been thinking about using leftover sock yarn to make a blanket of Weavette squares. I think it might be too thin with just one strand woven. But perhaps too thick to deal with doubled. So I’ll have to think some more.
Mermaid Jacket
Twisty Baby Set
Miss Dashwood
Clapotis
Tychus
Dianna Sweater
Eyelet Cable Raglan
Temari Ball
Giant Glove
What gorgeous colors!!!
Oh, I’ve been thinking about the same thing re: sock yarn Weavette squares… but I never considered the fabric weight. Oh dear.
the last piece is just what i want to make! it looks great with all those colors…could you give a hint on how to do it?
