WIP Wednesday - 12/19/2007
First off, look at this great button Miriam made for me!
Love it? Want it? Feel free to save a copy to your very own server!
And now onto the progress:
Project #1: Flatiron Clog Socks
Not only did I finish my goal of finishing the heel decreases, thanks to 2 doctor's visits this week and an hour spent cooling my heels (heh - sock reference there) in the lab yesterday waiting to have blood drawn, I finished these! But, tease that I am, you'll have to come back tomorrow for the FO post.
So, the new project #1 is the Nevis Cardigan from A Season's Tale (you'll have to scroll down in the link to see the picture). This is knit on large (size 11 US) needles in a chunky weight wool, so I am hoping it will move right along. Here's where I stand right now on the back:
Weekly Goal: Finish the back
Project #2: Rattlesnake Creek Socks
Finally decided on a name for these and I got the calf portion knitted, plus the heel flap. I was pleased with how the undulating cables are working, so I'm going to forge ahead with these.
Weekly Goal: Finish the heel gusset decreased and start on the foot.
Project #3: Bison Fiber
Both bobbins' worth of singles are spun. Still no pictures, but I'll have some next time, when my goal will be to....
Weekly Goal: Ply into a 2-ply yarn, double-check my yardage and cast on for the Exotic Fiber Club pattern.
All for now.......
This goal thing is working for you! ;-)

Mmmm, that new sock yarn looks yummy. And, I like the cabled pattern you've used. Can't wait to see those finished.
I hope the Dr.s appointments went well yesterday, even if they did take forever.

Wow! You are really making progress there. Woot-Woot!!!
Here's hoping the drs. appts went smoothly.

I guess I should snag that button, eh? I like the idea of weekly goals. I think I may snag that idea after the first of the year as well. Too much going on right now with the holidays to be goal oriented...but I think it would be a great idea come January!
I love your new sock!

I'm loving the socks - and the word "undulation" (it's one of my favourites!)

You had a great week! Your sock looks really nice!

Ya know, goals could be a good thing... I actually got 10 of the 12 UFOs done that I picked during UFO Resurrection, and still have almost half a month to try and polish off another... course I managed to generate close to another dozen in need of (re)consideration during the past year!

I love Dr appts for the knitting! The socks are gorgeous and the sweater is too!

Whoops, I've already missed a Wed WIP update. If I grab a button, maybe that will get me on track.
Cute cardi! And I've actually hiked to the top of Ben Nevis, the highest peak in Scotland. There was snow at the top, in July!
