Wednesday WIPs

There’s a bit more to report on this week – three current WIPs!

Melville (Ravelry link) is moving along – you can see more of the whale every day. I was hoping to be a bit further along with this by now, but it’s an enjoyable knit, so that’s OK.

I’m going to be traveling over the next week and a half, so Melville is on a pause until I get back. There’s a little too much infrastructure on this project to bring it along. So I cast on a pair of regular socks, using a sock set that’s been in my stash for a few year now. The yarn is the Florida Orange sock set from Cashmere and Coconuts. That is some bright yarn! I am planning on using the contrast miniskein to do some stripes at the top of the leg rather than doing heels and toes with it.

And last but not least, I cast on my Worst Witch scarf (Ravelry link) using the coordinating miniskein set.

This is a fun knit so far, and I’m enjoying the alternating lace and slip-stitch sections. This was originally cast on as a backup travel project, but now I’m second guessing that plan. What will I take with me? Who knows. I will report back on the travel and knitting next week!

What are you working on these days?

Almost to Spring!

Image
It’s that time of year again where we are aaaaalmost, but not entirely, to spring. I’m itching to get some veggies and flowers planted, but we aren’t quite there yet. It’s still hovering around freezing a few nights a week, so we wait. In the meantime though: We did get a few hanging baskets for the front porch just to get a little color going! We have to bring them in some nights, but it’s worth it. How about where you are? Has spring sprung, or are you waiting too?

Disco Babushka Done!

Image
My disco babushka is done! Overall, a quick and easy knit, and lots of fun. You could easily do this without the sequins if you are bling-averse, but they are easy and fun to add. The pattern is Dotty Disco by Olga Buraya-Kefelian, and the yarn is Ewetopia’s Silk and Mohair in the color Vintage Jar. I just got the sequins from Amazon, and they worked fine. I have also been working a lot on a Christmas present project that I cannot share quite yet. However, we are going on a few holiday adventures in the near future, so should have something to share. I am working on catching up with blog reading – so sorry to have fallen behind on reading everyone’s posts! How are you all doing? What are you working on right now?
