Foul Weather Thwarts FO photoshoots
I have five FOs, everyone! FIVE! See…
Clockwise from lower left: Peak Island Hood, Nubby Cardigan, Glace vest, Delicato mitts and gift socks.
But this has been the weather for days and days and days…
Soggy Weather
Therefore, it’s been nigh impossible to take photos of the FOs with me wearing them. The mitts are a gift, and the cardigan and vest fit just fine, so I am pleased. The Peak Island Hood may not be long for this world, but I’ll save that and modeled shots of all the FOs for posts in the new year.
In three days we leave for the frozen Midwest to visit family, but no worries, M’s grandma’s socks (brown was requested) are done!
So what to take to knit for the 12 days we’ll be gone? Well, the purple-grey stripey yarn I got for my birthday is going, and this sock I’ve started with STR mediumweight in Faulty Dyer is going:
I’ve just started Rivolo by Anne of Knitspot in LL Shepherd Sock in Mixed Berries:
And using the shaping of Frost Diamonds by Stefanie Japel (the lace would be too hard for travel knitting) from the Winter Knitty, I’ve started a small version with fleck stitch instead of the lace. The yarn is Fleece Artist Casbah in Seashore (10% cashmere–very nice).
M and I wish everyone a wonderful holiday season, and if you are traveling we wish you good roads, connections and a safe journey!
Merry Christmas! See you in 2010.
Wow you have gotten a lot of knitting accomplished! Good for you!
Have a wonderful holiday, and uneventful travels.
Merry Christmas!
Amazing!!! You’re really churning stuff out, and it’s all gorgeous!
I love the socks (and Frost Diamonds).
(and especially your kitty ornament!)
Happy Holidays!
(((Hugs)))
Brenda- Have the best Christmas ever, and we’ll see you in 2010.
Cheers!
Happy holidays to you and M! I’m amazed at the number of FOs you have. 🙂
Merry Christmas. Love the FOs and that Frost Diamonds WIP is just lovely! 🙂
Happy new year, and I’m looking forward to seeing all of your projects in 2010!
It is so hard to take decent photos in the dark and wet weather! Enjoy your holiday. Can’t wait to see your projects in the coming year.
Merry Christmas! I see that you were planning to travel on Sunday? Were you able to get there OK without the storm messing with your plans? I’m looking forward to seeing the FO shoots in 2010. Enjoy your travel projects; that shawl is especially interesting looking 🙂
Merry Christmas! Hope you have a wonderful Holiday season and a safe new year! Happy Trails.
Wow! Aren’t you just the productive little knitter – love your Peaks Island!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Brenda! I hope you had a wonderful holiday!
(And yay you for 5 FOs!!!)
I am living vicariously through your FOs, since I got very little done this past semester. 😉 They all look gorgeous!
