a foggy place . . .

1st sock!

My very first sock is complete! I am almost at the heel of the second one.  It's been slow-going, but I am pleased with the results.

Green Sock

This is double progress update - Project Spectrum and the Green Sock Knitalong!  I really love knitting in the round.

Project Spectrum - Green

I have finished the cuff on the first basic sock.  I have been keeping it in my purse, only working on it in waiting rooms, etc... This is my first sock, I find it really enjoyable and I love working with fleece artist sock yarn.  I am interested to see how durable it will be as a sock, since it is 100% merino.  The various greens, from olive to pine, work really well together the blending is quite seamless and natural.  If you haven't tried any Fleece Artist / Handmaiden yarns, you have to - just for the colours alone, if not the quality and softness. 

I have finished the body for lappi, dominic's next sweater.  The pine green is truly gorgeous, far more rich and full than pictured (badly) here.

Organising my stash

I am making progress on Héla, it will be done by my deadline Sunday night (the flight is really early Monday). So I've decided to organise my stash a little bit. That is assign my wool to future projects.

My first ever socks! In Fleece Artist Merino sock yarn.

This will be the Gjá sweater from Lopi 24.

This will be Aftur from Lopi 25.

This 100% wool, Selkirk by Ram Wools in Lavender, will become Rogue by Jenna Wilson.

And finally, this lovely RYC Alpaca (in blossom & herwick) will become Eunny Jang's Deep V Argyle Vest.
