mystery fingerless mitts

clue 1

 

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!

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.

Dragon Swap and finished socks

JudyS from Stitch Along With Me was my swap buddy for a Dragon themed swap hosted by KathyB at
Irisheyesknitters: My Yarn Garden.  And what wonderful goodies I received.

A fingerless mitt pattern, Dragon Scales; some luscious Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in my favorite colors; a bar of handcrafted soap with essentials oils and botanicals (for dry, dragon skin); a box of tea; a washcloth; and the cutest dragon ever!  You push on his back and fire (pretend) shoots out his mouth and his wings fly up!  Cute!!  Also she sent a book.  We had been talking about how much we like reading mysteries so JudyS sent one by Mary Daheim, a local author to her.  And the setting of the book is a fictional place based on a real place not far from her.  I can't wait to read it.  Thank you JudyS for a wonderful package.  And a big thank you to KathyB for another great swap!

And now for the first finished socks of 2012

(and it's not even the end of January yet!  I might be able to get a pair done a month, lol)

What to do on a Winnie the Pooh blustery day?

I should know better

Do NOT try to knit when you are sick!

After two tries, I decided it was best if I just went back to bed. 
Can't believe I have a cold and today is in the 70s!!!  Something must have blown in on Tuesday's wind.
