I finished two projects this weekend!
First, the Monkey socks, with the picot edge.
They are knit in Shibui color 4201. I do love the color, and they are super soft! They were knit two at a time on one circular needle. Quite helpful for the bout of not-being-able-to-finish-anything phase I seem to be going through. There are just too many projects that want to get started.
The pattern was easy once you get the repeats memorized, which also wasn't hard to do. It became second nature. I did do a slip stitch heel instead of the straight knit as in the pattern. I prefer this heel.
And, I also FINALLY finished the Cropped Leaf Tie Cardigan from Fitted Knits. I had intended to finish this back in May, but didn't work out.Yes, I chopped my head off. I don't know if I'm thrilled with the results yet or not, and it's hot tonight, and the cotton/silk blend of the Cascade Pima Silk wasn't agreeing with me. Also, not a fan of applied i-cord...or i-cord in general for that matter, so I'm not sure what possessed me to tackle this. I'll probably wear it a few time before deciding it unworthy because I am a horrible knitter :) (It's what I do.)
I frogged my Flicker socks. They were supposed to be a gift back in June, but never got finished, and I'm pretty sure I made a mistake somewhere, but can't remember where, so I figured I'd just start over again.
Now, on to the next new project...I think it's going to be the Tangled Yoke Cardigan from the latest issue of Interweave Knits. I also need to continue plugging away at my long unfinished projects. Like Ed's blanket that I started a year ago.
Speaking of Ed, his grandmother passed away on Saturday. The funeral is Thursday. Trying not to be sad. (It is reminding me of my grandparents...) She lived a long life though. One day past her 92nd birthday (which is all she wanted to live to...she said that often), and wherever she may be now, at least she is no longer suffering.
