2 done! another one started....

finished the lacy baktus a while ago but never got around to taking a picture of the finished shawlette until today.

lacy baktus
str lightweight in turquoise

knitting all these shawlettes made me itchy to design my own...so the str that i was originally going to use for a gathered scarf, and then a multnomah was repurposed for this new project...

str lightweight in a raven colorway millend

i am in the process of writing up the pattern. yeah, right! debi laughs at me but i do get maximum play value with my yarn! you wanna see the noro thing?! nay...

and i have an idea for an "infinity" scarf. here is the start.

mini mochi in neptune
(my 2nd favorite color which i still can't photograph to true intensity or color)

oh, my new favorite color?! susan guessed that i would like this better than neptune....it's #110, jungle. almost like the neptune but toned down just a little. you need to see it in real life!!!!!

you all are NOT disappointing me a bit. i am so loving all your projects. remember, we will be giving away one prize for every 10 finished projects posted!!!!

multnomah

was finished last week but needed a bath and block for her photo shoot.

i am finished with this one but need to take a picture of the completed scarf. there was definitely something zen-like knitting garter stitch.

just a couple of more repeats of the feather and fan and this one will be done.

you really don't want to see my pile of patterns. you really don't.

done with ONE!

actually, this would be my second holiday knit but it is the first one to count for the kal.

traveling woman shawlette

mini mochi in violets rainbow
us size 6 needles

my first holiday knit would be these rainbow socks for my niece with the short row heels from h*ll! i must have knit the heel on the left sock at least 15 times if not more (5 days worth of knitting) before i finally got a heel i could live with. the right sock took me no less than 3 tries. funny, the yarn survived all that torture.

and to make life even harder for myself, i decided that the socks had to be mirrored. yes, i did.

score:
socks- 0
adrienne - a PAIR!!!!!!

now, don't nobody mention nuttin about short row heels in my presence. i don't wanna know.

my not traveling "traveling woman"

this is a fairly fast knit. YEAH! this is my progress picture after 1 1/2 days of knitting. picture shows one repeat of chart a. i've decided to keep this scarf size so am following the pattern with 2 repeats of chart a, then ending with chart b. i am halfway through chart b!

i found myself with the wrong number of stitches after the stockinette section so just fudged it. i think i must have missed some of those "every row edge yarnovers". oh well.
