Literally… the yarn I’m using to make Claire’s socks is coloring my hands and my needles.
Meet the culprit:
Words cannot express how much I love this yearn. It’s soft and light and it knits up like butter – even stitches too (well, maybe that part is me). So, I don’t mind so much that it’s doing this:
Isn’t that funny? I can’t say it’s the first time this happens to me but, I’ve never had the needles change color. I’m using bamboo. Maybe last time I used metal or plastic.
I think they turned out kind of cool! Either way, I better make sure I give Claire’s socks a good wash before I give them to her so that she’s not blue too. Hahah.
I finished another pair of Bella’s Mittens (for my sister).
This is Shelby with her Bella’s Mittens. You think she likes them?
I finally finished the Noro socks (they’re a little itchy – but moocho pretty).
The hat I made at Michelle’s last weekend is going to get a re-do. I wanted a floppy tuque. It’s not that floppy and the ribbing stretched ’cause I wore it a lot.
Not a great picture… I like the stitch so I’ll keep that the same. I’ll use smaller needles for the ribbing and make the tuque part floppier. I wanted it to look like this:
It didn’t work out like that so, I’m going to frogg it and start over. I still have a little yarn left to make it bigger.
I’m off to do family things today. Maybe cut the grass, pull some weeds and dinner at my mother’s.
