All Night Long! (all night)

Well, my friends, the time has come

To knit some hats and have some fun

Throw away the sleep still to come

Let the movies play on (play on, play on)

The Loop was great.  I arrived around 8pm and returned home around the time the sun was rising.  I crawled into bed with Amy for a couple of hours, then got back to the knitting at hand!

While at the Loop, I banged off a Center Square, two lacy hats and about half of another hat.  All were done in Knitpicks Main Line, which is super nice to work with.  It's mostly cotton, so it feels really soft and yummy, a huge bonus for an eleven hour knitting session.

All of the finished hats were left there.  #4 is below.

 

Backpack number eleventeen thousand is done, felted and adorable.

Millicent has hit the frog pond for the time being.  I love the pattern and intend to work it in full in the future.  However, I think the lace top needs a pure solid colour.  I also don't really need more knee socks, as I'm rounding the home stretch on Austermann Step knee sock #1.

The thing that drew me to the Millicent pattern in the first place was the asymmetrical rib pattern on the feet, so I think I'll work a pair just from normal sock leg point down, again in the Cherry Tree Hill Supersock.  That batch of yarn has seen way more than its share of frogging.

In the recent Lime and Violet podcast, the girls discussed an intriguing KAL:

52 pairs of socks from April 1 of this year to the same date next year.  I'm waiting for an e-mail confirming my participation, but will attempt to complete the sock challenge regardless.

Anyone else up for it?

I'm sad to say that Lynne and I did not make it to the bitter end. I slid off my chair into my bathrobe and havn't been the same since. Great time though, really! Your hats were great and your continental speed inspiring. I have been practicing mine which is still kind of pokey. Hope we see you again soon!
