I've been working on a few different projects the last week or so.
The first is a pair of socks.
I'm trying out a new pattern called Monkey and really enjoying it. It's a simple lace pattern, but challenging enough to keep my interest. I've got the first sock finished, and next time I'd go down a needle size from #2's to #1's. It's just a bit baggy. I'd also use a yarn that doesn't have such a bold pattern. You loose the beautiful lacing in all those glorious stripes!
The second project I'm working on is a new purse. I know, I know..I don't even use a purse so why am I making one??? I liked the pattern dammit!
The pattern is called Brea and it has all these lovely cables. I've gotten the back panel and the seemingly never ending seed stitch sides/bottom panel finished. I've got to tell you...all that seed stitch will drive a person mad!
I've already cast on for the front panel and plan on getting started with it tomorrow.
Last, but certainly not least may very well be the coolest thing I have ever knit....Felt Clogs. I can not express how freakin' frackin amazing these things are. I Love, Love, LOVE them!! Felting is like magic!
