Socks, Socks and more Socks

I've been busy since the cast came off. 

Those were the most fun with granny squares.

 

Crocheting & Knitting - I'm Back

 Just crocheting for a bit until the hand heals.  This is a lovely scrappy triangle shawl. I started a new pair of socks and I'm doing a mitered scrappy blanket from leftover sock yarn. I got tired of making scrappy socks.

Have a great week..

Cast Off Day

Tomorrow morning at 8:30 with luck, knitting can resume, after six long weeks.

I could not take another day...

Knitting On Hold

Made some socks...

 

Made some socks, toe up with the dyed yarn...

Just for a while until my hand heals, meanwhile...

And if I could figure out blogger on my tablet,  with one hand, it woul be great. Meanwhile, 🙏...

Back...

A pair a month...  that's the goal.

 

 

Ishbel - Done

I thought mistakenly that this was going to be an easy knit compared to the Nefertiti shawl that is currently awaiting new yarn. Did I mention that I contacted the Hand Maiden people and they are dyeing a skein of yarn just for me so I can finish it? I misread the pattern and simply didn't have enough yarn to finish it. So while awaiting the new yarn I started Ishbel.

I had it almost finished when I decided that it would look nicer on larger needles. So it got frogged. I restarted it last Friday night during the opening ceremonies of the Vancouver Winter Olympics. Yesterday it was done and blocked.



It's currently drying on the spare bed.





It is a nice pattern.

A Change Of Pace

I love my Swiffer, it gets a lot of use in this house with all the hardwood floors we have. I am tired of spending money on the disposable cloths plus the fact that they are not reusable. Being a little tired of lace knitting I was flipping through the Mason Dixon book last eve while watching the Canadian Men's hockey team decimate Sweden. I decided a little mindless knitting was in order.

So here it is; my Swiffer cover...
It will work wet or dry. I think I'll make a couple more and save some money.
