We got a freak snowstorm the day before yesterday. Almost 6" in one day. A "last hurrah" for winter I hope! I'm so ready for spring. Here is a photo taken from my back porch about halfway through the storm.
note: the barn is not mine, it just happens to be right behind my apartment building!
I have not worked on either the second Ironstone sock or Tasha bag lately. The two toe-up socks are finally progressing at a faster rate, so I think I am going to finish them together. (I was contemplating removing one from the circs and finishing them individually!) I really want them to turn out the same shaping-wise, since other socks I have made each fit differently than their mate.
This is Ironstone sock/Linear Lace #1
One quick project that I finished and don't think I ever mentioned here was a washcloth for Steve. He requested one, (non-girly) and I came up with this:
I just took the pattern for basketweave stitch, cast on enough stitches for a few repeats, and knit away. I really love the basketweave pattern. It looks so complicated but is fairly easy to do. I'm sure I have a few knits and purls in the wrong place, but they hide well in the pattern ;-) You can see the pen for scale - it turned out huge! Believe it or not, this took less than 1 ball of sugar 'n cream. A good reference for future washcloths - I am always making them small since I think I will not have enough yarn in a ball to finish!
