I’ve finished two things! This might be some kind of record. So far I’ve finished three projects in January, for a total of 1337 yards out of the stash.
Of course there are about 50 million more yards to go in that never-ending yarn stash of mine. And no doubt more will be added. I’m considering it a win, anyway.
Here’s the first. Socks!
That’s West Yorkshire Spinners sock yarn, color name Mojito. They are quite cheerful. I used the same pseudo-pattern that lives in my head, and size 2.00 mm bamboo double point needles.
Here’s the second finished thing.
It’s a cowl thing. The yarn is a bulky weight thick and thin wool from Butternut Woolens (no longer in business). I cast on 30 stitches, knit in garter stitch till I had just enough yarn left to bind off. I put a twist in it and sewed the ends together.
The color name is Boreal Sky, but I think it looks like a Caribbean ocean deep pool. It’s perfect for the chilly weather we’ve been having.
I successfully used nearly all of this skein. Here’s what I had left.
The cowl was knit on 7mm plastic straight needles. I’m probably the only person left in the world that likes and uses these.
I started the socks back in October. The cowl was started January 23rd.
And here’s one of me doing what I do best, whilst wearing my new socks, and knitting the cowl.
Great socks and that cowl looks so cozy 🙂
I made a pair of Mojito socks when we were on a trip to Puerto Rico – I love them!
That is a really pretty shade of blue. You’re all set to be super cozy.
