Finishing Object Friday

These have been done for awhile, but they just got blocked.  The pattern is Paris 1919.

These are the latest Handmade Sock Society pattern.  As predicted, I knit a couple of inches on my sweater and suddenly switched to the second sock.

What’s next?  I don’t know yet.  The only patterns that look interesting are both sweaters.  Starting another one seems like a really bad idea.  The other thing I want to do isn’t available yet.  It’s a kit to knit your own Dolores (Franklin Habit’s sheep).

Stash Enhancement Saturday

It’s been at least a month of fiber fails.  I start projects and don’t finish them.  Some were good ideas in theory that did not work.  One is a serious case of second sock syndrome.  I finished an afghan  and don’t like it.  Ditto a pair of socks.  I may be reduced to working on the sweater:  knit knit knit yawn.

Clearly I don’t need more stash, so of course I bought yarn.  This one came from Knit Picks and I am not sure exactly what my motive was.  Probably it was on sale.

Jimmy Beans Wool gave me a credit and free shipping so I had to use them!  These are Onesies from madelinetosh.  They are almost one of a kind.  The green one is Beta and the purple one is Dirty Harry.
