I'm going to try to do a weekly WIP Report. Not too exciting, but at least it'll be *some* knitting content on this blog.
Here are the socks I'm working on for SAM 3. They're using Sweet Georgia's Speed Demon Sock Yarn in the Elf colorway. I'm using a no-recipe toe-up and short row heel. Last night, I finished turning the second heel. I haven't used hand-dyed yarn too much for socks before, so I am experiencing the expected pooling. I decided to put the more dramatic pooling on the sole of the foot. Now, all I have left are the legs and they'll be done.
After these socks, it's back to Argosy, the hempathy scarf. This is the one I was making for my Hawaiian host friend. I have 8 more increases before the homestretch, the last chart with the final set of decreases. I'll have to remember to post a WIP photo of it too.
Before I started the Sweet Georgia socks, I knit up a pair of broken rib wristwarmers for a friend's 40th birthday gift. I used the Capistrano Fiber Arts wool and silk yarn that KnitDevil Madge had picked up for me, and they were a tactile dream. I literally cast off, wove in the ends, wrapped it in tissue paper and took off for the party, so alas, I have no picture to show. I'll have to get the giftee to model them for me.
That's the WIP Report for this week. Go forth and conquer!
