It has been a busy few days chez neels. I finally got the second sleeve of Granny Smith done and it is now blocking like a good cardigan on my floor.
This is the first time I’ve ever been bothered to block my pieces before sewing it all up. I just assumed it had all shrivelled up during the knitting process, but it hadn’t. In fact it is pretty much how I’d knitted it – only the body is about two inches longer than specified. I can’t remember if I opted to make the body longer or not. The cardigan is on the short side so it is probably no harm.
What else have I gots for ya? Well, there’s the freshly washed Pomatomus socks…
…and my never-photographed Jaywalkers…
…and of course my newly completed Magic Loop socks!
I casted on last night for my Clapotis in my new Lorna’s Laces… it is yummy. It is going to look so good!
In other news, check out this pattern for some funky fish mittens! I am never one to turn down fish – or mittens.
For the Love of Yarn is a new online knitting and crochet magazine I came across yesterday. And have a look at Michelle Knits’s blog. She just moved to Portland and now I want to move there too!
Today I think there will be more Alien Heads, more Clapotis and possibly a new pair of green socks. MMMM!
show more leg :p
