WIP Wednesday - 1/16/2013

I only have three things OTN currently, and maybe there will be FOs to show soon.  Don't hold your breath, because I've been having issues...

I started the January socks on the 7th, and have not gotten past the ribbed cuff:

 


I've frogged back to the ribbing twice.  I don't know what the deal is, but doing socks TAAT while trying to follow a chart for a pattern that repeats every 26 rounds is too daunting at this time.  The pattern is Elderflower Wine.  I really like the pretty Plumberry Black Sheep Dyeworks Sock Weight.  My LSSK Secret Santa/Sister gave it to me in our swap this year.

The Loopy Ewe is holding their First Quarter Challenge currently.  The rules are to make a project that uses one skein of yarn and has cables in the design.  Since I am cold sheeping until DFW Fiber Fest, I shopped my stash and found a lone skein of Madelinetosh Tosh DK in Moorland, left over from a sweater that I made (scroll down).  

 


I chose to knit a Lava Flow Cowl. I can still participate in the challenge, because I am using yarn that TLE carries. 

I also have a scarf going:

 


It's the Party Lace Scarf.  I found some colorful beads that go with the Bollicine Sissi that I had in my stash. (Click on picture to make bigger...you might be able to see the beads that are only on the beginning edge.)

What's on your needles?

MK out.
