    Small weekend accomplishments again....

    Finished!


    Sunsets V.2.2 are done, modeled here on my feet for convenience. Should be off to their new home sometime soon.

    In Progress:



    Monsoons the Second, from my traded extra ball of STR Monsoon. I won't do the full cable on these, might modify to just do one cable at the sides of the ankle.

    And this:



    Which looks like a muddly placemat full of holes, is the beginnings of the Stormwater Shawl. I set myself the loose goal of doing 4 rows/night and an extra 4 on the weekend, which means I get one full pattern repeat done a week. I don't know when this will get finished, and it's in a timeout right now because my stitch markers keep snagging the yarn. I'm making new stitch markers.

    The soon-to-be-started lineup:



    On the left is a Fleece Artist Merino in "Parrot" which after I wound it, I have renamed Parrot In A Blender. Middle is the Silkie Socks That Rock from the April Rockin' Sock Club, from which I've started and ripped out a toe, twice. You see, problem there is I'm waiting for two more of it to do the Knee High version of Knee High to a Grasshopper. I ordered two extra from the club-exclusives in case the dye lot differed from the first, so this actual club skein that came is destined for something else. Don't know what, but something. On the right is the Spring Garden exclusive from the Pick Up Sticks April sock club, which I think I will make some little-girl sockies out of once I re-engineer the pattern for small feet. And the little raspberry-red thing on top is one of a lot of 11 Koigu I won on Ebay, this one destined to be a whole bunch of test swatches since Koigu is a little too pricey to mess up. Since thanks to Ebay I've acquired a bit in some colours I'm not totally enamoured with I figured I could sacrifice this one to some swatching.

    Going to replace the stitch markers on Stormwater, have tea, do laundry, and go to bed now.
