The “Traveling Socks” are coming along great. I’m currently working on the second sock which is a mirror image of Sock 1. I should have pics this weekend, maybe I’ll even be finished!
Also hope to have pics of the Shapely Shawlette from Judy Pascale’s pattern that was also travel knitting. I’m trying to work out how to bead the bind off.
Have a safe & fun holiday weekend!
I’ve been playing the new Crazyfoot sock yarn from Mountain Colors, and it knits up beautifully. The twist is great for pattern work. The colorway is “Chinook” and this swirly design looks like it’s been blown around in a high wind. The pattern will become a whirlwind when it reaches the foot, and the other sock will twist in the opposite direction. I’m having a lot of fun with this so far. What do you think of it?

Here’s what I was knitting on Mothers’ Day. It’s an afghan for Daughter and Son-In-Law. It will match their living room and be big enough for both of them to snuggle under. It’s kind of boring since it’s all garter stitch, but it makes great idiot knitting when I’m tired. I try to work on it a little every evening when I’m too tired to do more challenging things. If I keep with that plan, there should be no problem finishing it by Christmas.
