Another WIP

When I get not feeling well, I like to start new projects.  I know its kind of backwards.  I have plenty of WIP to work on.  Something new distracts me from not feeling good.  I've been seeing so many lovely beaded projects and so I decided to try my hand at one.  I even got a special beader for my beaded projects.



Size 6 & 7 circular needles

Sun Valley Fibers MCN Lace in Plum Crazy

Here is the beader:

Turning heels on Socks


I have another sock at this point too but I haven't taken any pictures.


I'm almost done this HUGE shawl.  It will be more like a blanket by the time its done.  The problem is that I'm on the last skein of yarn.  How many rows do I knit before I do a picot bind off (which will eat up lots of yarn).  It's like playing yarn chicken and I usually run out of yarn.

Plugging Along

I'm still trying to finish up some old WIP and work on all the new ones I started.  Here is some pictures of the progress.  Details on the projects can be found on the knitting blog (link on the right side).

Happy New Year!

Let the WIP begin!  I casted on this last night from some handspun that is sparkly.



So far I've casted on 3 projects and plan at least 2 more.  Details on all of these projects can be found on my Knitting blog (link on the right side).





The brown socks are my Father-in-Law's Christmas present.  I usually start them early since I have to knit 7" of the cuff and I get bored easily (even with a 12 row repeat pattern).
