Posted in spinning, holiday knitting '06, sock-a-month 2, evelyn clark KAL, finished objects on Dec 11th, 2006
At VY&T on Saturday it was pointed out to me, more than once, by more than one person, that it had been a while since I had updated my blog. Comments about “the green socks still being there” and hints about possibily posting abounded. So, with out further ado, more green socks!
pattern:  my own, k3p3 rib, K5p1 leg, dutch heel, standard toe
yarn:  Kroy Sox
needles:  Crystal Palace US2.5
cast on:  October 30th (ish) cast off: Dec 2nd
I’ve been doing some spinning too. Yes, I have fallen to the dark side. On Thursday I spun up the remaining roving from my class, then on Friday I wacked together a lazy kate so I could do some plying.
I am actually quite pleased with my first finished yarn.ÂÂ
 
 . . . and another FO!
pattern:  Spinner’s Shawl by Evelyn Clark
yarn:  Silky Wool
needles:  Clover Bamboo US8
cast on:  Dec 2nd cast off: Dec 10th
notes: Love this pattern, though it did turn out larger than I had planned. The border is quite wide, which I chose to have amnesia about while knitting. The cast off is great, nice and stretchy!
Since I had spun up all the roving I had, I picked up some more on Saturday.  Practice, practice, practice! What holiday knitting?!ÂÂ
