its been a long time since I’ve done a work in progress Wednesday post. since I have so many projects going on, its a good time to catch up.
first up, the sock in progress:
Just turned the heel on the 2nd one last night. if I can stay focused (ha!), I’m on track to finish it this month and maintain my one-pair-a-quarter goal for the year. I’m already thinking of stash diving for yarn for the next pair – keeps me motivated to finish, I suppose. the yarn is BMFA Silkie Socks that Rock in the ST2 colorway and the pattern, Knitspot’s Chicklets.
then there’s the shawl. the cashmere one. its Beach Glass in Ball and Skein Pasha, in the Beach Glass colorway. its bottom up so long and slow. thankfully, the yarn is heavenly to work with and the pattern simple. its just finding a chunk of time to pick it up and make some progress on it that’s a bit of a challenge these days.
lastly:
Hey, Teach! in Foxfire Cormo Classic. this is the project I can’t put down. the yarn is squishy and soft and just delightful. the pattern is simple but entertaining. if I had my way, I’d be home on the patio with this in my hands today…
of course, there are a couple more projects hanging around of which we will not speak. these are the active ones. the others, not so much. and the spinning. sigh… I’m a quarter of the way through the sweater’s worth of spinning in a merino/silk blend, maybe a half ounce into the 4 ounces of lovely tussah that’s on my favorite spindle and there’s singles on the wheel that just need to be skeined off and soaked. and someone reminded me that Tour de Fleece starts in a few weeks. I *should* focus on current projects but AnnaMarie at Corgi Hill has promised to make things really fun again this year, which means there’s probably another spinning WIP coming my way…
perhaps this weekend, when I have “minimal” plans for the moment at least, I’ll squeak in a little time for spinning projects. or that cashmere…
