Seduce: to win over; attract

Yarn seduces me with her siren call. "Pick me! Pick me!" I am hopelessly enchanted by yarn and am delighted by the endless choices.

New Month

New Challenges Projects

But first.... a report on Six Sock September
Sadly I did not meet the challenge.  I had too many other things going on.  But!  I did get 2 complete socks done and no, they are not from the same pair.

First sock done, Winter Fir (I guess I forgot to take a picture :sheepish grin:  I'll get one taken tomorrow)

Second sock done and mate is done through clue 3, SKA Sep/Oct Mystery Sock

Third sock, Weeping Angel (still lovin' this sock!!)

I also finished the test mittens and they were put in the mail last week.

And now for the new...
Yep, it is another pair of fingerless mitts!

There is a new mystery sock for the Solid Sock group.  I did print off Clue 1 but haven't decided if I'll start it yet.
I do have a few sock mates to work on. hehehe

AND tournament 6 of  Nerd Wars starts today! I did look at the challenges but haven't figured out yet what knitting to do for them.

Happy knitting y'all!

WIP Wednesday

Sock updates!

SKA Sep Mystery Sock
Clue 2 finished on sock 1 (after taking out 12 rnds and redoing them!)

Weeping Angel
Lovin' this pattern!!

Winter Fir
I know, I know, it looks like it did last week... that is because I knitted the leg and discovered it was too small!  so I started over.  What you are seeing is the cuff done on bigger needles. :sigh:

Six Sock September

Six Sock September is a September Sock challenge! The challenge? To knit or crochet 6 Socks (3 pairs) during September.

Why yes, I did join this Ravelry group and accepted the challenge.

First sock started...also will count for the SKA (Sock Knitters Anonymous) Sep/Oct Mystery KAL
I'm using The Loopy Ewe Solid Series in Cardinal.

Second sock started... my own pattern
I'm working on a pattern for an advance sock class I'll teach in October.

Third sock not started yet... Weeping Angel... also will count for the Sep Solid Sock - white

So now you know what I'll be working on in addition to the other projects I have in the works, hehehe.

Finished socks

I never did post the orange socks I finished.  So here they are...
Rebel Pilot Socks, rav page here

And I finally finished the mate to the Patchwork Weasley socks
Rav page here

You know I have more socks on the needles (yes, that is a given, haha)  but I also have a test knit on the needles, a fingerless mitt, and a sweater vest? (not sure what to call it because it is a sweater without sleeves and buttons but not a pullover). 
And I have a couple of needlepoint projects in the works.

Happy knitting!!
