Happy Easter. It was a beautiful day here in Western NewYork...cool but sunny!
Mom called me yesterday and asked if I had time to work on some of her socks she sent her a while ago to have the bottom holes fixed. I've been avoiding that task. It's hard on my hands for some reason. But I got two pair done for her.
The fix is not very pretty at all.
I hope are still comfortable for her to wear.
I have one more baby boy sweater to make for baby coming in 8 weeks. My friend Laurie's 2nd grandson. Pattern is MK#1 Baby Cardigan by Minimal Knits. I am making the 6-12 month size.
Plymouth Select Superwash yarn. I love this yarn!
Got a lot done on the giant socks this week. Working my way down this size 13 foot.
I am totally sick of them because they are so big and take so long.
When I started the bottom, I switched the bottom needle to a size 2.25 and kept the top needle at 2.5. I think it would have been too stretchy and not as sturdy in the 2.5 size. Because of this, I increased two stiches on the bottom.
The yarn is Huntington. I added the wrong picture last week for the yarn.
Ruth started a new sweater this week!
Yarn is Harrisville Shear. Pattern is Forager by Isabelle Kraemer.
Looks like a great sweater!
Martha is working away on her sweater.
Here are pictures of the left front and back of her Oban sweater blocked. Martha says: "This pattern looks so straight in shaping but if you look at this you can see it is shaped? Maybe the model was very thin in the pattern pictures so you don’t see the shaping! Anyways here's to hoping it fits"
I think it looks great!
