WIP Wednesday - 05/07/2008
Hokey doke - the seemingly never-ended scarf is finally finished and off the needles, so......
Project #1: Little Child's Socks
Are now the top-listed project. I did get a few repeats knit on these. I've got 2 more repeats for the leg before turning the heel.
Goal: Finish up the leg repeats.
Project #2: Cobblestone Pullover
This has turned into my "knit when you can" project, but with multiple errands and waiting for the yarn skeiner to run, I actually have made quite a bit of progress on the sleeve. I have 4 more rows, and then will be up to the last set of increases for the underarm "seam". I think I've decided that I'm going to cut off the large garter stitch cuff, then pick up and knit probably 8 or 12 rows with spaced decreases, down to a smaller garter stitch cuff with less rows (and do that on smaller needles).
Goal: Finish all the increase rows.
Project #3 (semi-new) Gentleman's Sock:
I posted a pic of this a few posts ago. The pattern is the "Gentleman's Plain Winter Sock" from Nancy Bush's Knitting Vintage Socks book. Sorta-kinda. I changed the heel treatment and tweaked some stitch counts to get what I wanted (which is mostly to use up the bulk of this large 450-yard skein of Alpaca Sox). I'm working these up in another ginormous guy size to ship off to the orphanage. This yarn apparently felts like the dickens, so cold water/hand washing will be perfect for it, and it IS extremely warm for its weight.
Goal: First sock is already done and off the needles. I have about an inch of the second sock ribbing done. No specific goal, but we are on the road to Idaho for a race this weekend, and I think this will be my primary travel project, since it is exceptionally mindless and I don't really need a pattern to work on it.
All for now.....
