What else is new...
Knitting Elizabeth Green Musselman's Langstroth sweater for Ro. Thank you for the pattern Elizabeth. I'm using Cascade 220 Heathers in color 2453 Pumpkin Spice. Elizabeth has a great podcast Dark Matter Knits. This is my third sweater with 220 Heathers. Pattern calls for US 5/7 needles. My 7s are all tied up so I'm using US size 5 - 3.75mm and US size 6 - 4.0mm needles. I'm knitting the 28" chest size thinking it'll be roomy this winter and still fit next winter. Really like that there isn't anything up against his neck. Pattern is fun so far. Bottom up construction means I have to pay minimal attention and am able to knit around the boys or when I'm brain dead tired.
Sweaters for our Kids KAL! Now through 11/30.
Prize will be this great bag from Silver Shed USA! and The New pattern from Jennifer Lassonde, Aila Grace Shawl. Hint KAL to follow....
September Socks: will be for Randi, Tristan's teacher are finished as well. Knit with Opal Love Story in color 7910 Romantik. Using US size 0 - 2.25mm needles. Following my favorite toe up sock, heel construction. That's Wendy Johnson's Slip Stitch Heel Basic Sock. I do a 2x2 rib on top of that. I've litterarly knit hundreds of socks this. Used just over 300 yards.
Finished one pair, cast on another. Signature needles and I do not get along! These are Neon socks for Dad. Was supposed to use alternate construction for his next pair but completely forgot. Forester pattern. Oops. Still looking for that perfect yellow color for him. Using US size 0 - 2.25mm needles. Wendy Johnson's Slip Stitch Heel Basic Sock.
Doing a 2x2 rib. Using Online Supersock 4-Fach Neon Color in color 1754. Have been knitting with it for several days before I had it in natural light to see that it is Navy, Black, and Yellow.
Kim's Socks: Tristan's other teacher. With Berroco Sox in 1410 County Fair colorway. Using US size 0 - 2.25mm needles. Wendy Johnson's Slip Stitch Heel Basic Sock. I do a 2x2 rib on top of that. About to start heel gussets.
