The past week has been a time to tally up the Plunge and cheat on my socks. Socked out once more, I am planning a sock hiatus and enjoying larger gauges and longer needles.
Plunge pair 26. Halfway there. Trekking Pro Natura. Yum.
Plunge pair 27. Artyarns Ultramerino 4, and a very recognizable pattern. Still my favourite. Still want to tuck Cookie A. in my pocket and take her everywhere with me. (When I worship, I go all out.)
Cheat #1, the mystery Gloss project, is now a skein and a half in. Here's a photo with about a skein done. Thermal, by Laura Chau. Yarn and colour as in the pattern. Squee factor: high to extremely high. (Pop the designer in my pocket factor: dangerously high.)
Cheats 2 through 5 (so far, and I'm not done yet): clogs for friends' kids.
Top pair are Cascade 220, black and maroon twist. Bottom left are Patons Rustic (grey) and Classic (red), with the uppers done in a strand of each. Bottom right are Patons Rustic (grey) and Classic (blue). The red and grey ones are for the oldest son of a high school friend, so the colour scheme is perfect.
Next are clogs for my favourite SIL's hospital bag. (She's bringing me a niece in August.)
(Patons Classic. Again. And I have more stashed away.)
Last cheat is the finished Montego Bay scarf, finished, finally photographed and already worn twice.
Be warned, Amy. There's room in my pocket for you too, lovey.
Back to Ravelry. They're about to go full-time, folks, which will mean access for all. See you there soon!
great socks! i can't believe you are done 26 pairs thats CRAZY!
I too am in love with Thermal, its on the waiting list until i get some WIP's finished.
