Works In Progress
I have a few new projects that I would like to share with everyone.
The first is a linen towel for our guest bathroom. Linen is a fiber I haven’t worked with yet and it is a very interesting one. I like the feel of it in my hands even though it is a little stiff. I understand that the more it is washed the softer it will get. The pattern is a little fussy so I can only do it for small periods of time before I get irritated with the counting. This is the Moss Grid Hand Towel from Mason Dixon Knitting.
Sorry this picture is a little dark and slightly blurry. Surprisingly, it was the best of the two that I took.
The second thing I am working on is baby booties. Everyone I know that is having a baby is having a boy. I haven’t made any baby booties yet so I embarked this weekend when I needed a mindless project. I think these are turning out to be pretty cute. This pattern is Christine’s Stay-On Baby Booties.
I finally got around to felting the slippers I was working on. I used Cascade 220 for these and it felted very differently than the Patons Merino. They are very cute and I am keeping them. How terrible is that??
And last, but definitely not least, I started a sweater for me!! I am so excited about this project. Someone very near and dear to me sent me a donation for my sweater so that I could buy the yarn. The yarn is Cascade Eco Wool in Silver and it is beautiful. I am doing a ribbed pullover with a shawl collar. We will see about the collar because I have never done one before and don’t really have a pattern for one. But I’m sure I can figure something out. Here is what the yarn looks like.
It is undyed Highland Peruvian 100% Wool. There is some black in with the silver that makes it so unique. It is a soft wool and will be even softer when I wash it in Eucalan.
I hope everyone is surviving February.
~Happy Knitting!
