WIP Wednesday: Pride Edition
Last week, I showcased some of the pride knits that I had already finished. I know Wednesday is supposed to be a work in progress, but it felt like the perfect opportunity to showcase items that I had made in the past. This week, I'm focusing on my pride-inspired projects that are actually in progress.
I'm very proud to be a part of the LGBTQ+ community. You can see my coming out post here.
First up is my sock! I've posted so many photos of this as it's part of my Knit-A-Thon Fundraiser with the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. The sock is knit with Riding Tide Fiber Co.'s Talbot Fingering Yarn Rainbow Trail. I don't believe it's currently in stock on their website, but they have a lot of other great colors to choose from. I purchased it at the Fiber Festival back in April.
Next, I purchased Caron Simply Soft Speckle in vintage color. I'd originally bought this to make a striped cable sweater, but didn't like the way the colors worked together. It has since been frogged and now it's ready for something new! It's going to become Forest Gem, a Drops Design vest pattern. This is a super old Drops Pattern, but I am excited to see how it turns out. I've only just cast on this one, so it's just a baby!
And lastly, I had a full skein left of the Red Heart Super Saver in Rainbow Stripes that I used for my rainbow sweater. I decided to make a vest for my sister similar to the sweater that I made. I chose the pattern Mountain Moraine by Drops Design. The pattern is intended for a bulky yarn, whereas this one is a DK weight. I used a larger needle size to meet the gauge and enjoy the lightness of it.
