I have been busy knitting. I won't be able to wear what I finish probably until November, but I keep on knitting anyway. First up, a finished object. This is the Simply Garter vest from Cheryl Oberle's Folk Vests. I knit it out of Crystal Palace Taos yarn. I'm happy with the results. It even fits!!! I did make some modifications to the original pattern. I made it longer and a little more fitted.
I have been working on my February Lady sweater. I have the body done and am working on the first sleeve. For some reason I have really been slow on this sweater. I have put it down a number of times, but I am determined to finish it. This yarn is Classic Elite Inca Marl, a 100% alpaca yarn knitted on US size 8 (5mm) needles for the body and US size 7 (4.5mm) for the sleeves.
I was cleaning and organizing my closet this past weekend and came across this. This is my Icarus shawl that was started back in 2007. I knew it was in the closet, because I just got tired of it. However, now I have picked it back up and have been working on it. I think it will turn out really pretty if I can keep going. I am knitting this out of Ziddlesticks Knitting JaggerSpun Zephyr Wool-Silk 50% merino wool and 50% tussah silk. The color way is Admiral, and I am knitting on US size 4 (3.5mm) needles.
And of course, I have been knitting socks. I finished these up a week or two ago. This is my plain top down sock out of Lorna's Laces sock yarn in the Blue Jeans colorway. Knit on US size 2(2.75mm) needles.
I have finished one sock of this pair. Again, plain, top down sock knit out of a one of a kind yarn from Knitivity. Ray Whiting is a dyer here in Houston who does some great work. This particular yarn was a one of a kind using left over dyes. I love the way it is spiraling around the sock. (Sorry it is upside down. I forgot to rotate the photo before I blogged.) Also knit on US size 2 (2.75mm) needles.
I have some other projects in mind, but have not started them yet. I found another vest I want to knit and I have the yarn for it, but I want to try to finish some of these projects first. Hopefully I will be able to keep on track.
