finished!! they came out super nice and now I’m debating what to make next

I made socks from yarn I spun myself! The wool came right from the sheep and was quite rough, but I made it work. The sheep were two-coloured so I seperated the colours to make these. The socks are meant as a second layer (over normal socks) for the winter, they're waaaay too itchy to wear directly on skin. Love them!!

I just love how this turned out so much? I want to see how a variegated yarn would look in it. Gigi fell asleep during supervising completion of the toe.

WIP Wednesday

As I mentioned last week, the most fun part about knitting is constantly being able to start something new and learn new things. I wanted to share updates from the projects I posted last week.

One thing I wanted to make abundantly clear is that projects take time! Just because there is a weekly update doesn't mean the project will be finished in a week. The most important thing is that you're dedicating time to your craft and enjoying it.

Last week's sock was an easy pattern created by me with the sole purpose of keeping me entertained while commuting on the bus. And, it's now in limbo because my needle broke. I've since ordered more needles, but they didn't come until yesterday. I haven't made a lot of progress since last week's update, but I will always share a photo! If you look closely, you can actually see the broken needle!

The yarn that I ordered for the Flax Sweater in its DK version has finally come in! I’m using Red Heart’s Love collection in the color BlueBell. As I mentioned in my last post, this is one of the old acrylic yarns in my stash that I decided to go through, although I'm enjoying how it's knitting up. I have finished the body and one sleeve! Hopefully, it's finished before my friend moves to Minneapolis at the end of the summer. She'll need it in those cold winter months.

Thanks for stopping by. Let’s knit something wonderful together! My ask box is always open, so feel free to drop a comment.

I don't know - do you want updates for my sock making journey?

In the first class, we struggled with the clunkiness of DPNS (read: figured out how to hold and manage them in a way that works for us as individuals), and completed the cuff ribbing.

Homework was to complete stockinette until the sock was 6 inches. I went a little too zen, and accidentally did 6 inches just of stockinette. So I might have a bit of a longer leg. Not the worst mistake to make :D
