Finished Objects
Jade
  • Nothing. Nada. Zip Zilch...
Sandy
  • Finished my Apres Surf Hoodie: I love it! I’ve worn it on a few outings and it’s perfectly light wear for cool spring nights.
WIPs
Jade
  • Pattern: Vanilla Socks
  • Yarn: Does this black make my rainbow look big? (self-striping)
    • White Birch Fibers
  • Notes: She loves the yarn, love the stripes, and is slipping stitches to get a more slightly uneven striping pattern
Sandy
Jade
  • Pattern: On the Beach by Isabella Kraemer
  • Yarn: Miss Babs Yowza
  • Notes: She picked up this top-down sweater again and is making very slow progress on it. She ripped the whole thing out and started from scratch, and is now doing the waist shaping. Her plans are to citric acid soak (AGAIN) the body and sleeves before she starts the color work.
Sandy
Work and gaming knitting: vanilla socks for Eric in a very old skein of yarn-- Brunswick Nylamb in the color Cranberry.  
Fixed the heel.
Sandy
Started (and am nearly halfway done with) a Vintage Stripes crochet blanket
I’m using up so much of my single ball scrap wools on this!
Sandy
Cast on a slip stitch stash hat for charity. (Syrian knitting group on ravelry)
Using all my worsted scraps to make a sunset color theme.

Going to alternate knitting for Afghans for Afghans and Syria this summer.
