Lazy update

 Hi Dear Blog Readers.

How was your week?  Hot here in Western New York.  I have another lazy update for you. Not much knitting.  Spending more time outside, which feels great.

Last week I forgot to show you the Easy-Peasy No Sew, Stay On Baby Booties I finished.

Encore worsted yarn.  Not sure if it's a boy or girl, so she can just pull out the string that does not fit.

The 2nd sock is coming along. Working on turning the heel.

Worked a little on the Alaska mittens.  Fun pattern.

Ruth is working away on her 2nd sock.  So nice!

Martha has a great update, and I'm adding everything in her own words:

 First of all my hat is done being knitted, I need to attach a Pom Pom, right now I seem to have 2 and neither seem to be too matchy matchy? I guess I’ll put that on my Rhinebeck list to buy. This is Kobuk by Caitlin Hunter.  Minus some bobbles which I neglected to fit them in, ooops!  There are two yarns, first Our Fiber Flock Sport by Longmeadow Farm where we went for Rhinebeck 2.0.  Two tone, natural is the color.  I bought this last month at Sophie’s Surgery with Ruth At Lift Bridge out of the clearance bin.  I combined it with Brushed Alpaca by Azul, which was blues, purples and greens. It’s 70% baby alpaca, 12% merino, and 18% nylon.  This project is the one I primarily worked on on vacation. 

Next are my socks.  I have to confess my screens are taking too much of my time.  My socks are not being knit too much. but I’m happy with the matching of the stripes so that’s good.  This is Uneek fingering yarn, super wash Merino, for socks.

Finally is my sweater.  I put it on a lifeline to check it for fit, and I have to put it back onto the knitting needle, and put the markers in again.  That’s slowing me down.  If I can just knit I’m better….sort of, reference sock comments.  This sweater is The Big Y by Von Hinterm Stein. The yarn is by Dancing Leaf Dyeworks, Charleston 100% superwqsh Merino, I think it’s called Rhinebeck color way.  I used the tint feature of my edit on the photos and this color is very close to the sweater. Aren’t I smart?

This is the only yarn I bought on the trip.  It is Layla Qing Fiber a very south after dyer in London.  The owner of the K1P1 knit shops is Manchester vt is a older waspy woman that traveled a lot as a kid in the British colonial nations.  She was very proud of this dyer, and yarn.  It is 80% merino 10% cashmere, 10% nylon.  Color is Oyster.  Not my usual colorway but of the choices I liked it,  thinking a spring shawl. 

These are the waterfalls in Manchester Vermont.  It was nice to touch the water on the hot humid days at the end of the week. There are SOOOO many streams, creeks, and rivers in Vermont.  I never knew!

This is a funny I found!

Thanks for the update, Martha!

Have a great knitting week dear blog readers. Stay safe and be kind.
