Having a Blue Period!!!!

I've noticed a blue theme with the last 5 WIPs. I wonder why, any ideas? I'm not feeling blue.

First: Progress with my Salish Sea Socks by Cat Bordi knitted with STR-M Coola Bella (RSC dec 07). I'm disappointed that the blog is now closed and help with these is no longer available through the usual channels, rug and off feet springs to mind!

Second: Progress with an Adult version of the Evolution Rib socks I knit for my DS2. The colourway is Peacock and I got it from Alice at Socktopus.

Third: My first knitted dishcloth, this is small at the yarn is fine fingering weight/knitted on 3.25mm needles. I tried a pattern, can you tell what it is?

Fourth: the first of my Posh Emily Monkeys in Stormy Seas colour.


Fifth: The Haven scarf for my aunt in Hipknits Silk/Cashmere 4ply, also blue.


I am going to finish at least 3 of these before casting on another knit!! I promise. :)

Works in progress...........................sock yarn

I am posting some progress pics of the current projects which happen to meet the requirements of several Ravelry, KAL or CraftyThreadsnYarn challenges. Both of these are luxury yarns, I've just noticed, maybe I feel in the need to spoil myself? I really do need to finish these and get cracking with PIF gifts next. :)


This is the first of a pair of No Purl Monkeys in Posh Emily: Stormy Seas. The pattern is adjusted for gauge by casting on 56 stitches and using a 14 stitch pattern ( just leaving off the last stitch on either side) over 4 dpns. These are for me and a UK size 6.


This is another Haven from Kim Hargreaves Heartfelt in Hipknits Silk Cashmere sock (4ply yarn) at the request of my Aunt.

Slipping in a little knitting now and then........

I knitted my first Fetching, one down.........I have been experimenting with the Evolution I got from Socktopus and trying patterns for Wrist/mits using the yarn which is very soft and silky. I also have been tinkering with a sock pattern using it for my little ones etc. :)

I have received some yarn purchases from Jannette's Rare Yarns for future projects, some Cashmerino Aran for more Fetchings and some Chunky to knit Buttony which Terri inspired me to try :)


I am almost finished this for my sister's Birthday which was yesterday, :blush: I originally bought Knitspot's Little Scarf pattern but my lace skills were not up to the short time frame I had to do this and as you can see this simple pattern isn't done yet either! It will be done by Christmas definitely :D The Yarn is Posh Yarns Eva in Cumulus using 3.75mm needles.
