WIP Wednesday - 02/27/08
Fresh slate of projects on tap for this week. You know, I don't really like finishing things - I just gotta have changing blog fodder to keep you, dear readers, interested. Snort.
PROJECT #1: Seraphim Shawl
I'm knitting this in red Silky Wool. Currently, I'm up to the next-to-last row of Chart #2. I'm at that point where the rows are fairly long, so I suspect chart #3 and the edging will take a while to get through.
Goal: Finish Chart #2 and work thru row 5 of chart #3.
PROJECT #2: Child's First Sock
I haven't been working as diligently on these socks since they aren't mindless knitting (at least not at this point - I'm getting the hang of the pattern, but not quite automatic for me yet). However, I have finished 5 repeats on the leg so far.
Goal: Finish the last 2 repeats for the leg and work the heel.
PROJECT #3: Large Rectangle Scarf with Central Diamond Pattern
Ah, I do so love the lyrical names from the Victorian Lace Today collection. I'm knitting this up in Kidsilk Haze. I only had 2 skeins of it, so I have already made some changes to the size of the original pattern (decreased the number of central repeats and a few rows in length), and I am now onto the knitted-on border. Everytime I pull this out of my project bag, I think how much I like the color and the pattern, so why haven't I finished it? No clue. Anyway. Bear with me. I can already feel myself dragging my feet, so this could be a WIP for a while, but I WILL be finishing the damn thing if it takes until the end of the summer.
Goal: Knit 5 repeats of the border edging.
All for now.....
The names in VLT crack me up. I love all the shades of red you're knitting. Seraphim is fabulous in that color!

As long as we're interested and happy, you should be too!

Still loving that Seraphim in Silky Wool!

Hmm ... all lace projects. Is this an indication of the coming of spring, I wonder?!

I love red, so this is a great WIP Wednesday to look at!

My only WIP at the moment is in need of some serious frogging to repair a mistake I made out in Utah! That's how long since I've worked on the sweater for my granddaughter!

All that red! I love it, but with your purple universe, I can see why your feet might be dragging a little on one project. Hope it's fun!

Mmmmm, red. My very favorite color. I bought three types of yarn on my yarn store pilgrimages in AZ, and they're all red, or shades thereof. I bought some merino/tussah silk roving, as well, in your colors--blues and purples.

It's nice to know I'm not the only one working Seraphim right now. I'm still slogging through the first chart.
I love your color choices and I'm looking forward to see that VLT project when it's done. Don't worry, I'm a patient knitter. ;^)

I do believe that is going to be the next shawl on my needles too....*when* I finish my sweaters that is. I love all the red you have on the needles!

I love to see all this red! :-) It's just the thing for a dreary time of year.
I think your Seraphim will be a huge hit. Silky Wool seems like an excellent choice for it! The tweediness gives all that stockinette a little extra interest.

Mmmmm. Beautimous. Seraphim is on my list, and I'm dying to get started.

Don't you love doing that child's sock? I really enjoyed that pattern!
