I finished knitting the ranunculus today and it is drying. Will get back to the socks next. Am closing in on the toe section from sock one.

Finished my (first) Ranunculus sweater a couple of days ago. It fits great (another first for me) and was fun to knit. Already searching my stash for yarn for another.

Fixed circs are in a basket I inherited from my mom (in size order). DPNs live in these tubes.

Looks like you got your answer but if you are interested in colorwork, I loved knitting a colorwork scarf (several now) in the round. All stockinette and no end weaving as they are just tucked into the tube. If you don’t want colorwork, you can make it all just do a scrappy version that stripes.

Thought I’d get them out to see how much work that blanket will take… oops this is crochet! But it is a WIP all the same and on my mind as such.

#ShowMeYourKnits this week is WIPs
I’m working on a new pair of socks using Hermione’s Everyday Socks free pattern.
I’m also working on a Ranunculus.
And work will continue on the temperature project until the end of the year.
I also have a bucket of crochet squares to put together into a blanket.

Starting off the week knitting to keep the news of the world from taking over my brain. Should be finished with sock two today and have done my row for yesterday on my temperature blanket. Then it is back to work on Ranunculus.

#CrochetAway blue
So many of the pieces I have crocheted tend to be more teal or lean toward that color. Here are a couple of my blue items.

Was sitting here looking at everyone’s #ShowMeYourKnits colorwork and remembered (how did I forget?) my one and only colorwork garment, made during lockdown for my daughter.

Finishing up the toe decrease on sock 1 and hope to be well into the leg of sock 2 before the end of the day.
Since I have started knitting the leg longer to use more of the skein, my socks seem to take so much longer! 🧶🧦
Taking my quiet morning for knitting, journaling and coffee. Happy Monday!

Most of my color work has been Christmas stockings but I’ve also dabbled in mosaic and double knitting. Here are a few examples…

As I wound this I found myself quite disappointed and wondered why I had ordered this color because it feels very bland to me and pale. Then I went back to the online order and saw the photos of what I thought I would be getting. I’m not super happy.
