Getting off to a questionable start here, though I am no stranger to the once-a-month posting habit. On the bright side, I can never be accused of delivering TMI, right? Maybe, sometimes. Moving on.
The Kardigan of Kureyon is resting, mellowing, hopefully not slowly air felting. I will stick to my guns by not starting the dismantling until after the 25th at least. Recently I reworked the sleeves on my Bad Penny sweater, bringing the cap sleeves down to half sleeves. Very cute. While knitting I decided that it can't really be called Bad Penny anymore considering I've changed the pattern so much, and there's no copper to be seen. I've settled on "Old Money". Oh, I crack me up. No decent pics yet, but I did acquire another batch of Kureyon for yet another sweater.
Before getting back on the sleeves, I started my first sock ever. It's not perfect, far from it, though very exciting being that over the past year every sock attempt was a great big disaster. Friends, toe up is the way to go! Of course now I'm sort of stalled at the cuff because the 1x1 ribbing is so tedious. Quitter that I am, I might take it apart and start over so that my wrapped stitches will be perfection. I had hoped I might knit some socks for my sister as a Christmas gift, but I would want them to last. And wouldn't it be a shame to have one iffy sock and one very nice sock when they should be a bonafide pair? Yeah, let's frog that sock.
And I mentioned stash, so why not? I've had this chunky handspun wool laying around for a couple months now, and it's that time of year for turning out lightning fast hats. One of my sisters will be the recipient of a chunky hat with ball on top! Hehe.
