Too Much Yarn

Really short post

I'd have to say I'm a bit depressed about knitting this month. Primarily, I'm working on a mystery sock that is sucking up a lot of time. After I finished the leg, it won't go over my ankle without a lot of pulling. The final clue was released and I had just finished clue 2!! Anyway, after I made the decision to not knit anymore unless it fits my daughter who will be home on Wednesday, I felt a lot better. Here's what the sock looks like.

I've also worked on my mitered square blanket. My goal is to even out the blanket. I think I have less than 30 squares left.




And finally, I started a sock from Hunter Hammersen's designs. I don't remember the design!









Oh, wait! I also started a shawl, also from Hunter. It's from her new book, Curls.









My Deception Pass shawl is being blocked. Hopefully, I get time to finish some projects this week. I'll be off for Thanksgiving in Thursday and won't be back at work until the following Tuesday.

Oh good, Jennifer hasn't updated her blog...

I was starting to feel guilty for not updating my blog again when I checked that Jennifer last updated her blog on Oct 25 whereas I did on Oct 27... So I feel better now... HAHAHA!

Actually, in the last 10 days, I have knitted about 10 mitered squares on my blanket, knitted my test knit shawl with about 10 rows left before bindoff... started a couple of socks, and finished this pair.  But it has been more than 40 hours since I last knitted so I'm a bit grouchy....  We had our first Minnesota Snow Storm, dumping about 8" of show and it's going to be cold for the next week - it really feels like January weather but it's only November!  I don't think we even had an Indian Summer yet this Fall!  Maybe it will still come!

Anyhoo... Here is the finished socks.. The pattern is going to be part of the Elements Series from the Periodic Table.  This is Zinc.

Once the pattern is published, I'll let you guys know if you want to test knit...

These are phone photos.. This is a pattern from Hunter's Curiosity Cabinet Vol 3.  The pattern is Bunodes Crassicornis.  Yarn is an oldie - Sanguine Gryphon Bugga in Smaller Yellow Ant.  It is really not as bright and very beautiful.

The second sock is the SKA Mystery Sock - stranded colorwork is the challenge this month.  I'm not sure if I like the colors I selected.  But they're snowflakes and I don't have white or cream colored yarn so light blue would have to do.  These are Hazel Knits Artisan yarns.

Until next week...
