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. :)

FOs............feels good to finish something....

Firstly I finished the Vogue Silver anniversary Flower Scarf by Nicky Epstein. Because I used Aran weight silk instead of DK I adapted the pattern accordingly and used a single row of larger flowers instead of a 'ladder effect' of flowers as desribed in the magazine. It makes for a lovely soft but weighty scarf.




I finally finished these little socks for my little'un, before the first one was too small. Mind you leaving the second one for a few months meant there was a slight difference in how they turned out, but he loves them. They are knitted in the leftover yarn from a pair for my SiL in Little Lola from Woolly Workshop.
