Unstuck

I finally got more yarn for the shawl I was stuck on.  I finished the shawl on Monday and blocked it yesterday.  I'm really happy with the way it turned out.  This is the Wast Side shawl by Gudrun Johnston.  It was knit with Cascade Heritage sock yarn on US size 6 (4mm) needles.

Finally Finished

I started these socks sometime last summer, but have only worked on them off and on since then.  I have been working on other projects so these socks only came out when I was too tired to do more complicated work.  That said, I love these socks.  The yarn is Brown Sheep Wildfoote Luxury Sock Yarn in the Symphony colorway.  My photos do not do justice to this yarn.  It is not as blue as in the photos, but a lovely mixture of blue, black, turquoise, green and burgundy.  These socks were knit on US size 2 (2.75mm) bamboo needles.  I am going to wash these socks separately at first, because I'm sure the color will run.  The yarn turned my bamboo needles blue while I was knitting them.

Too Many Projects

I have been working on several knitting projects lately.  I have probably spread myself too thin, but it is hard to resist some patterns.  Currently I am working on a plain pair of socks, an afghan, a triangular shawl, a round shawl and a scarf.  I will try to post some photos soon.
