Weekend Recap #2

So guys last week I was busy so I did not post. Sorry, but I'm here today! This week was not as busy though. You might not know, but I design patterns, and try to put them out each week so I have been working on a pattern mostly. I do not what I will call it, but here is the picture. It is a shawl, with some eyelet lace on the side panels and cables surrounding them.   The yarn I am using is a Unknown wool brand that I had in my stash. It is dk weight and I really like working with it.

The next project I am working on is the baby sweater I mentioned in my last post. It is a size 7 in children sizes and has a cabled edge.

I really like the way the yarn is working up, It is Bernet Baby Soft Steps. If you are ever considering knitting with it, DO IT. The yarn is so soft for an acrylic, and makes a great looking fabric. This is one of my first sweaters I have knitted so it does not look that great but I think it is a good attempt. I cant wait until I get better at sweaters, because there some great patterns out there. 

So next is still a W.I.P. The dreaded socks. I wanted to say thank you to, patsy coats, for the recommendation of the sock class. I think it has helped.  These are my third pair of socks, but it seems like they are the hardest. I did 2by2 rib with 58 stitches, knitted 64 rows for leg and did a fish lips kiss heel. I am using size 2, needles which I think are making the knit a little easier, but still they are taking A LONG TIME...

I  have started a raverly group for this blog: TheKnitandPurl. So if you would want to check that out that will be great. There is a thread in there right now labeled "GUEST STARS". I am going bring a guest to post what they have been doing ever 2 weeks, so if you think you would like that please comment. Thanks for stopping by, subscribe!
