Episode 59 – with show notes!

ACTUAL KNITTING CONTENT~!!!!!

FO: Finished a Basic Knitted Dishcloth by Jane Lake. Knit out of Bernat Handicrafter Cotton Yarn in the Lavender Ice colourway on size 4.0mm (US 6) needles. GOAL: I’ll be making several more of these in the next week or so.

WIPs:

Work continues on my Find Your Fade by Andrea Mowry. Yarns used so far are Oasis Yarn Aussi Sock in a OOAK colourway, Zwerger Garn Opal Vincent Van Gogh in the Starry Night colourway, Bernat Sox Multi in the Faded Denim colourway, Zwerger Garn Opal Rainforest in the Panama Franzi colourway, and Open Skies Yarn Tweed Sock in the Chilly Mornings colourway. Knit on size 4.0mm (US 6) needles. GOAL: I’d like to finish section nine this week (thirteen is near the end of the pattern, no idea why I thought I was there).

I’m still working on my Straight and Narrow Socks (own pattern). They’re knit out of Mia Bella Kitten Sock in the Sapphire colourway (who knew it had a name? It didn’t when I bought it!) on size 2.5mm (US 1.5) needles. GOAL: to finish the first sock. I won’t cast the second one on right away, since I want to start a different project, and I’m not ready to start writing the pattern up yet. The pattern should be out some time in the next couple of months.

I have just cast on a NEW Scrappy Blanket! I’m loosely following the memory blanket by Georgie Nicolson. Squares added so far include Three Irish Girls Adorn Sock in Zuzu’s Petals, an unknown striped/patterned yarn, and The Plucky Knitter Plucky Sock in Apple Cider (first and third from my friend krysknits). Knit using 3mm (US 2.5) needles.
