WIP Wednesday - 04/23/08

Project #1:  Lace Diamond Scarf

Actual, real, honest-to-dog progress has been made here.  I turned the second short corner and did 7 repeats along the second long edge!  In talking to Liz in last week's comments, turns out this is one of her favorite colors.  Originally, I had planned to gift this to my mum, but she got the larger gray lace Kid Silk Haze project I did last year, and she's getting the red lace shawl, plus a not-yet-knit pair of gray socks this year, so I told Liz this little scarf should come live with her.  Maybe now that it has a good home to move on to, it will finish itself up faster.

Goals:  Since there are a total of 21 points along the large edges, and I have 7 done, I'd like to do another third, and finish up 7 more.  So.... 7 more repeats of the edging.

Project #2:  Little Child's Socks

OMG!  More progress!  I finished the first sock.  Yup - it's totally done and I cast on for sock #2.

Goal:  Finish the ribbing for the cuff and knit 1 repeat of the leg pattern.

Project #3:  Cobblestone Pullover

I actually did find a bit of time to work on this during the last week.  We had a riding lesson cancelled because of snow, so I used that evening to get some knitting done.  I cast on for sleeve #1, finished the garter stitch cuff and started up the arm.

Goal:  I'd like to get 16 more rows knit on this (that's 2 more increase repeats).

And in other totally random things I pick up and knit on occasionally, I finished another square for the Lizard Ridge afghan.  I found this was a good infusion center project, and I was able to knit for about an hour (good needle placement this time!) before the drowsies took over.  I finished up the remaining third of the block the next evening when I was taking it easy in front of the TV.  (Noro Kureyon colorway #92.)

All for now......

You are so methodical about your WIPs. It's interesting to see them grow, be finished and then another in its place.

While you may not have project monogamy, your methodical approach sure seems to get results!

You've been so busy with the needles! The afghan square looks like a landscape to me - grass, mountains, blue sky, and clouds.

You definitely had a good knitting week. How many blocks do you have done for your afghan? You had a lesson cancelled for snow? Snow? Yuck.

[Laurie]

Good progress with the found time.

[Toby]

Wow - that's a lot of progress! When I was posting about my WIP plans for last week I completely forgot that I had a business trip this week that was going to suck up all of my time for 5 days.

Ohhhh...love the afghan colors and design!

Nice to see someone is on track with WIP. I have to get back to it.

What is the pattern you're using for the sox in Mustang Sally? Where can I find it? These sox are gorgeous!
