janestarzToday was one of those days where I run around and get things done. Eisirt has two night shifts in a row, so I had set my alarm to wake me up as he got home, we had coffee together and then I ran off and he went to bed.
Picked up fabrics I ordered, cut a made-to-measure men's shirt and drafted two pattern blocks. Then I went home, edited some pictures, wound skeins of yarn into balls in preparation for the Sock Madness and got on with finishing project pages.
Sometimes you have fast projects that get used right as they fly off the needles and you never get good pictures. It's important that I do take the time to take pictures, especially at the atelier.
I've also been picking up and finishing small projects before the Sock Madness, because I feared they would be forgotten (no, not the Morgenfryd. Duh.)
These are the finished Socks of Joy, a late gift for Tyldak's birthday. She seemed very pleased with them. I am happy they're done and I could take stock of how fast I knit these days. Second sock from start-of-heelflap to toe in two evenings. And these are a pretty large size.
With the Socks of Joy done, I picked up this little WIP. I made myself one in red, this one is for Kat. They're not a lot of work (just an evening of ribbed short rows) but I'd put them aside. Now finished, photographed and ready for delivery tomorrow. The back closes with two buttons.
And finally a picture of the Casu Cowl I knitted for windsong. I love it, it's shown me how I *can* have 100% wool on my skin. This is of course Cascade 220 Heathers. Same yarn I use for my Bodemloos sweater.
I am tempted to frog it and knit it again, but without the lace panel. The double seed stitch stays nice and flat, but the lace edge curls over -- blocking does not make it stay put, of course. Hm. Maybe one day.
Let's see which of my projects I'll take along tomorrow!
