Lacey camo socks finished

What's next, then? LOL

More socks

Cast these on on Wednesday night; Rollercoaster is the name of the pattern, for the Sockamania group I have just joined. This is the first monthly sock pattern I've done. Lovely, easy two row pattern, very effective, giving lacey bits and chevrons. I like the use of the camo wool with the more feminine pattern, makes me smile :)

Poppies waistcoat finished

At last! It's off the needles and ready to wear :) Was a long time in the making, having to order more wool twice to complete it. Pelased with it, it's nice and woolly and warm. A slight variation on Kaffee Fassett's Persian Poppies, using Twilley's Freedom Spirit wool to provide the colouring. I Swiss darned teh centres afterwards for ease, bit fiddly with wee scraps of black as I went, so wnet for this option.

Welly socks

These were done for an order for someone on the forum - nice and thick, with a reinforced heel, double thickness. The wool is a lovely pure wool with burnt orange and blue flecks in. I've a little bit left of it, so will incorporate it into something else to use it up.

Poppies update

Update on teh waistcoat; it looked just like a pile of bumfly knitting until I added the black centres and cblocked the pieces; now it's looking really good. Armhole edgings done, and half of the front borders. I hope to get it finished by tonight and on with the Aeolian shawl and other things.

Beanie beano

I did these a couple of weeks ago on a wet Sunday; quick to knit up, and great fun. Pattern was from Yarn Forward magazine, done in the round, which I like. The pink and white one reminds me of raspberry ripple ice cream LOL; pure wool, space dyed with srawberry Kool Aid, the first time I've used this for dyeing. Great fun, but the smell was awful, and I'd never drink it :0 The other pink one is some yarn I'd spun and partially dyed with cochineal, overdyed with strawberry Kool Aid again. The third one is all handspun, with a apttern of hearts on it.

Maja shawl finished

I set to and got this finished last night; I only needed to wind one more ball, so got straight to the knitting when it was done, and completed the last repeat of the pattern. I'm very pleased with it - love the pattern. The wool is Shetland, a gorgeous rich shade of chestnut, bought in a charity shop in Broadstone about 3 years ago now - just waiting for its time LOL. I have quite a few skeins left, so enough to knit something meaningful with the rest of it.
It would look good and drape well in a heavier sily yarn I think.
I'm up to 6 yucca repeats on teh Aeolian, and managed two blanket squares yesterday too.
