A warm welcome to new and returning readers. It feels good to be typing away after a year long absence. What yarny things have I been up to? Well, I'm sorry to say, not much but that's all going to change now that I'm in a new happy place. I have 3 projects currently languishing on my needles.
The oldest UFO is the Carnaby skirt by Nikol Lohr. This is a free pattern that was first published in Knitty, Deep Fall 2010. I started this back in December 2014. I'd say I'm about 2/3rds of the way through.
I'm knitting this in Red Heart Super Saver in the colour Windsor Blue. I do need to order another ball of this yarn in order to finish it but I need to import it from the US unless there's a UK supplier.
It's a very simple design using a Box Stitch pattern and short rows. A perfect knitting project while binge watching on Netflix ;)
My second UFO is a pair of Time Traveler Socks by Liz Sedmak. Another free pattern available to download from Ravelry. I started these socks back in March 2015.

Looking forward to seeing the progress on the shawl - it's a lovely colour.
ReplyDeleteThank you. When I saw the colour I made a beeline for it.
DeleteWe always have SO MANY UFO'S in hibernation mode around us don't we?!
ReplyDeleteWe wouldn't be REAL knitters/crocheter's if we didn't! ;-)
I do so love all of your pretty makes you have going on though...
Those socks would make anyone smile with all the happy colors!
And I, for one, am truly anxious to see that awesome skirt and that gorgeous purple shawl finished up... can I be your Secret Santa???
I hope the skirt is for YOU and we get to see you model it when it's finished.
I'm so happy that you and I are back from our year off of blogging.
It's wonderful to reconnect with you... I often thought of you and wondered how you were doing.
Love,
Danette
