On My Needles–January 25th

It’s been a Cowl-tastic week for me!

I finished my Denver Cowl in Miss Babs Yowza, colorway Biker Chick.  This was a fun and easy pattern with lots of warmth and texture.  I can’t wait to wear it!

I also started another cowl using Hand Maiden Casbah Sock yarn in the Orchid colorway.  The pattern is To Infinity & Beyond and this project is for the First Quarter Challenge at The Loopy Ewe.  The challenge is to use a single skein of any weight yarn and the pattern must include cables.  The cashmere content of this yarn makes it very soft and squishy!!

Showing My Socks–Jan 17th

JudyL has started a new weekly “challenge” and invited everyone to share the socks they are wearing on Thursdays.  The only rule is the photo has to depict socks being worn on feet…

So here are my socks du jour….

001

These are my Skyp the Tea Party Socks made from Fresh From the Cauldron SW Sock yarn in the Tea Party colorway.  The pattern is “Simple Skyp Socks” and I modified them to knit them toe up (cuz that how I roll).

Today I am off work so it’s a jammie day.  The weather guys keep saying it might snow so I am snuggle in my jammies wearing my bright fun wool socks!!

On the Needles–January 11th

This week I finished a couple of things and started something new as well….

I finally finished the test knit yesterday and love how it turned out.  The case was designed for crochet hooks, but I think mine will hold interchangeable circular knitting needle points instead…

I’m also still knitting away on monsters…

Cecelia the Huggable Monster is finished and ready to be loved…

And Spikarella the Joris Monster is almost finished.  This pattern looks complex but is so easy.  All worked in the round and no seaming at all.  The yarn is Bugga! by Cephalopod Yarns and was generously donated by Sarah for the project.

I also made my 1st monster for the 600 Monsters Strong project.  The pattern is called Adorkable Monster and the multi colored yarn was designed and donated by Fresh From the Cauldron just for this project!!  Her name is Dora the Adorkable….

I also started my 2nd monster with yarn donated by Propaganda Yarns.  The pattern is called Cecil the Computer Monster, but I’m calling her Cecelia the Huggable…
