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.

rainbow socks

deborah norville serenity in aquamarine
us 1 and 1.5 needles

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!

us 6 needles (4mm)

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.

traveling woman?

i have been talked into knitting a traveling woman shawlette. it looks to be a pretty simple 100 gm project and i just happen to have a couple of skeins of mini mochi in the violets rainbow which would be perfect for this.

thought it might be fun to do an informal kal on the cpy rav group. anyone care to join me? this might be the incentive i need to finish a project for the holiday kal. say, gift?! and of course, it would count towards the holiday kal!

ETA: i have a thread started on rav so start chatting!
