The Presto Scarf (weaving)
The Presto Scarf (weaving)
I got a ball of superwash merino yarn with my Presto 10” rigid heddle loom, but the yellow/orange color didn’t appeal to me. My spouse suggested adding a red to make it lean towards a “fall leaves” color, so I dipped into my stash to find another superwash wool in a similar weight that I could mix into this project.

Baby Socks - NB - Stroll Sock Labs 1811.02 (knitting)
Baby Socks – NB – Stroll Sock Labs 1811.02 (knitting)
Hoping these blue Sock Labs stripe up nicely since these socks are such small circumference.
I also have a skein of the pink Sock Lab 1811.01, but since I don’t know Baby #3’s sex, I’ll wait until after they’re born to decide if I want to incorporate that skein.
A shame, really, because I think they’d make cute contrasting heels with each other.

Little Sock Arms - 0-6mo - Felici Rainbow & Bare (knitting)
Little Sock Arms – 0-6mo – Felici Rainbow & Bare (knitting)
Switching to smaller needles because I know felici is a thinner fingering weight and I tend to be a loose knitter. Not swatching because this sweater is going to BE a swatch (if it’s larger/smaller than intended, it’ll still work since baby will fit it at one point or another).
I thought about using a hat as a swatch, but I couldn’t find a pattern I liked using similar gauge/needles. Swatch free…

Milo Bambino - NB - Felici Rainbow & Bare (knitting)
Milo Bambino – NB – Felici Rainbow & Bare (knitting)
I really liked the color scheme for my little sock arms sweater and swirl hat (and second swirl hat), so clearly since baby is due in August I need a short-sleeved something in the same color scheme.
Using US 2.5 (3mm) needles since I know my gauge was just SLIGHTLY shy of 28 stitches per inch the last time I knit a Milo out of felici

I hope it turns out OK with the striping. I may use a contrast color for the bands – not sure yet.

Separated the sleeves before bed.

This project is just going to go on forever until I have a huge stash of white socks. I’ll mark it as finished since a “pair” of socks has been finished, but I plan on having this be a continuous project until baby no longer fits these socks any more.
This seems like a good project to stash in my hospital bag, since it’s so small and the steps are easily memorized. You could get…

Baby Socks - NB - Spectrum Stroll (knitting)
Baby Socks – NB – Spectrum Stroll (knitting)
I love this pattern, it’s very easy. The ONLY thing that gave me trouble is when I missed the line “Final Heel Row(RS): K8 heel sts” just before the Gusset section and didn’t end up starting the Gusset section in the right place.
Once I made sure to actually read and follow the pattern instead of rushing through assuming that I had it, it was super easy to follow.

Swirl Hat - NB - Felici Rainbow & Bare (knitting)
Swirl Hat – NB – Felici Rainbow & Bare (knitting)
Not sure if I knit it too long or not – I measured 5 inches (per pattern instructions) but did not stretch the natural ribbing of the hat to get that measurement – I measured the hat flat, but relaxed.
We’ll see if it’s too big when the baby arrives.
The pattern itself is interesting, but relaxing. Easy to memorize and just knit away while watching TV. I love that the hat ends up being quite…

Looks like unwashed gauge is 22 stitches in 4 inches
This makes it closer to a 6-12 month sweater than the 0-6 month size I had cast on, so I may knit to the 6-12 month lengths and sleeves. It’s only a half inch difference on the body length and 2 extra sleeve inches.

In hindsight, I wish I had added some short rows to the back neck like I do with my worsted Flaxsweater…

I wanted to use up the rest of the Schachenmayr Mint yarn, but I knew I wouldn’t have enough to complete a Milo by itself so I grabbed a ball of Stroll in White for the garter sections. I actually REALLY like this color combo – I hope I don’t get any color bleeding from the mint to the white yarn when it gets washed.

This is a “swatch project”. I’m mostly using this as a gauge swatch for larger family sweaters out of this yarn. 😉
Based on some of the comments on Provincial Tweed (that it runs closer to DK) I’m casting on size 5 and 7 needles to start.

Many times when I read people complaining that a yarn isn’t a worsted weight, you have to wonder whether they assume worsted is closer…

Started putting together everything for this project because I have to do the 3 hour pregnancy glucose test (I failed the 1 hour) and I wanted an easy project to take with me and keep me occupied.

Bloom – Small – Lilac Capretta (knitting)
Doing a THIRD Bloom dress in a row (first two were gifts – this one is for my daughter). This one is using Capretta instead of Felici, so since it’s a solid color I hope it will show off the lace better.

Washed and blocked, this dress laid flat is the same size as my daughter’s 12-18mo dress (Old Navy brand)
