Sewing is a much quicker craft than knitting, so it appears that I have managed a lot more sewing than knitting while I was absent. It didn’t help that all of my current knitting projects are slow ones – Venezia (Fair Isle on 2.25mm needles), the Entrelac socks (now done) and the Cap Shawl (cobweb weight on 3.25mm needles).
However, there was some knitting managed. Of course, you’ve seen the entrelac socks all finished up.
I am travelling nicely on the follow up socks, Mingus.
The pattern is by CookieA. I’ve knit a few of Cookie’s patterns, and I can honestly say I’ve enjoyed them all.
Mingus is no different. These are not for me, they’re a gift, and that’s a lucky thing, because these would never go over my cankles.
The yarn is Yarntini’s Very Berrytini, which I bought from someone’s rav destash.
And of course, Venezia is coming along, slowly.
It’s actually a little further along now, but to be honest, it’s taking so long that I’m getting to be a little bit over it now. I want to start other things!
Twinkie is quite happy for me to sit at the table and sew. All day, every day, with her.
Mingus is beautiful Donna!! I am becoming a bit of a fan of the Cookie A patterns too.
Venezia is going to be so beautiful when its finished, hang in there! (I am such a hypocrite!, I have so many unfinished projects).
Dare I ask how the dancing costumes are coming along? you know, the ones we thought had to be done one every two days or so!
The Mingus are gorgeous! I’ve had a very successful sock workshop today – at least it was successful from my point of view! I think the participants were happy. Most knitted a whole sock [24 stitches in 8ply] and grafted by the end of the day!
Love the sock and the sweater WIP’s. I so want to start some new stuff but have to finish at least the shawl I am working on first.
All your knitting looks beautiful – I dont know how you stick to the 3 projects rule – I am very undisciplined by comparison!
Mingus is beautiful – what a nice gift!
