Well, long time no see, good ol' blog! I think I'm not that much of a blogger : Ravelry is enough for me to figure out where I'm going with my knitting. I've been having a ton of fun with Summer of Socks, looking at all the cool stuff people are posting. I had a goal of 5 socks : 3 fingering weight, and the 2 DK habs socks for my man and his father. I ended up doing 4 fingering weight and 1 DK, with the other one planned for this week. I made really great progress, so I'm quite happy with the results. However, I'm getting tired of all those socks.
Soooo, I cast on for a lace ribbon scarf, this lovely pattern by my favorite designer, Veronik Avery. How that woman does it, I have no clue. Pretty much everything she designs makes my heart pitter patter. She has this insane cardigan in the new Vogue Knitting for fall which is so me. The lust is strong with this one!
I'm not participating in Ravelympics : I debated doing it, but decided not to. I'm looking at people's FO anyway, just to get ideas (not that I need any more patterns in my queue : I would not be able to knit everything I want even if I had 8 arms.)
I just received a HUGE package from Knit Picks : I went a little crazy with the shopping therapy! I'm yearning for colorwork mittens, so I bought close to thirty! skeins of Palette. I'm thinking that, after the summer of socks, I'll be doing my very own Fall of accessories! I need scarves, hats, mittens, cowls.... All that good stuff! Can't wait to see what happens.
Here are the fingering weight socks I did.... Pretty sure you can recognize the patterns!
