Some Finished - Some In Progress

Yes there are socks, there are always socks somewhere in my knitting basket. These are knit from Regia Galaxy "Saturn" and I brought two balls back from Germany. It was such a good price I couldn't resist, I'm a sucker for bargains.

This yarn cost half as much as some Tofuties I recently bought and seems a lot nicer to work with. I started some socks with Tofutsies and last night my hands got red and itchy. Am I allergic to the shrimp and crab in this yarn? Maybe... I may have to abort those socks. Meanwhile I'm in nor hurry to finish these as this is my sit and wait in doctors office project. Keeps me sane while I'm waiting.

I'm finally finishing the cardigan for Steve and I'm embarrassed how long it took me. It was started last spring for crying out loud. But by the end of summer since we were heading for the warmer climes of Greece I simply relegated it to the bottom of the pile. Now I'm into finishing stuff.

All those ends to sew in, grrr...

All done just needs a little blocking. I'm going to wash it a bit warmer than normal and hope it shrinks down just a little. My husband is not really that big. He likes it though and that's important. There was no pattern for this cardigan, it was just loosely based on the Central Park Hoodie without the cable and without the hood. I had all this yarn leftover from other projects that I wanted to use up. I couldn't get enough of the beige in the same dye lot so I simply alternated the dye lots between brown stripes and you really can't tell.

That's it for now. I now need some new projects but I might wait until my eye gets sorted out. It really is hard to knit with blurry eyes...
