a tuneless moonlight
29 May 2007 07:45 pmWhat I've been up to lately...
Finished up the leg warmers! Except for that pesky weaving in ends thing...
I have a pair of socks! These are a super quick knit, just as the Harlot says.
This is my third or fourth try at the star-stitch part of these. I'm trying Sarah's technique for the star stitches and I like how it is turning out. Difficult part is working in the increases and changing over the stitches at the beginning of the rows. Still, love the mittens and how the colors look together.
Started a baby blanket for a friend who is due this summer. Yarn feels absolutely squishy and soft and the stitch pattern really works well with it. Yarn is Blue Sky Organic Cotton in a natural greenish shade (no dye!).
Bought some TOFUtsies yarn in a pretty colorway. The ball has a lot of knots in it, so I'm not really sure how well this is going to work out. Still! the fiber content is interesting, 50% superwash wool, 25% soysilk, 22.5% cotton and 2.5% CHITIN. Yep, shells of shellfish.
Decided I wanted to try plying, so I spun up two new singles and then spun them together. Not sure how successful it was, but it was a learning experience. And now I can say "I've made yarn!"
