Socks, finished

 As predicted, these went very quickly once the gussets were done, and are now finished. Here's a photo of the pair, to prove that I really did finish them and so that you can see the fancy patterned foot tops, and one of the wrapped stitch detail along the side.


The pattern is Lord, What Fools, and the yarn is Bearfoot (Ravelry links, both of them) that I've probably had for 20 years. Some of this stash is very well-aged at this point.

Who is this sweater for?

Image
 Today, we have a sweater that I started for Evan in 2014. It was intended to be about a size 8, and didn't get finished at that time. I picked it up again, thinking to finish it, and discovered that it is in no way a child size 8. If I make it a few inches longer than the pattern calls for, it will certainly fit me. Problem is, I don't particularly want it. It would fit Evan even now, but he won't wear anything which isn't black. Oh well, finish it and then figure out who it belongs to, I suppose. Pattern is Lancelot , modified with a v-neck (apologies for the terrible photo.)

Scrap Stripe Sweater, finished

Image
 Finished this one up a couple of weeks ago, but then it needed to be washed/blocked, and get its buttons sewn on, and then wait for a photo opportunity, which finally came yesterday. I am really pleased with it, and the buttons are ones that I made in a ceramics class in Fall 2019, so I feel a very strong sense of ownership for this one. The diamonds around the yoke were inspired by a recent leafing through of some old Kaffe Fassett books from the 80s, and I've given the pattern information in this post . The back is particularly fun. (Photo credit to David)

Big Blue Beads

Image
 This is my version of this herringbone rope . It has a very different effect with these big, more rounded triangles, and someday I hope to make it again with the called-for beads, because I like that a lot too. 50 grams of triangles wasn't quite enough, so I added extensions with size 11 Delicas. This was a quick project - started on Saturday and finished today.  This past weekend was the online NEFFA festival, which is why it's been a while since I posted here. While online festivals are not the same as in person ones, I think we did a pretty good job of it, and I ended up substantially more involved than I expected to be. Being the International dance coordinator, being in charge of t-shirts, and helping Marcie put together the closing dance party made for a busy couple of weeks! T-shirt business will continue for a bit, but it's all mostly done now, just in time to start on the taxes...
