On my needles

I seem to be like many knitters, who have a handful of projects all in process at the same time. I like to keep a mix of projects. Some are patterns in development, some are test knitting, and some are the very appealing work of others.

I am working on a super not-so secret design for a double-knit scarf. I have fallen in love with double knitting, and this design has me very jazzed. I have made it past the half way point and am on the home stretch.

When I started this sock, it was just supposed to be a simple, mindless, fill-in-the-gaps sock to keep me occupied. The yarn had a different idea. I am loving it, and just need to figure out what will happen with the heel. I suppose I could let the yarn decide that too, it has done a good job thus far.

As you can tell from the photo, this is a wonderful shell, in linen, designed by Vicky Square and published in the book Knit Kimono Too. Oh, you can’t tell? I best get knitting on this then so you can see what my mind’s eye sees.

I also have two patterns in swatch form. I will want to get those further along so the photo looks like more than a shapeless lump. I also have an almost done sweater, but it is also in the shapeless lump stage. I don’t know how people get bored. I have trouble allowing myself to stop at night and sleep!
