So the last time we met I was about to cast on some Wollmeise and get acquainted…well while I love the yarn I’m wasn’t crazy about this particular colorway, 80/20 Twin Wild Thing-Paul. It was a bit to mustard-y for me. The yarn itself feels fantastic though. Somewhat cotton-y with tons of elasticity. It is definitely one of those yarns you must knit for yourself in order to “get it”.
Much prettier in the skein…now my friend here is the proud owner…enjoy!
Anyway, I quickly moved onto Salto instead. I love this pattern, love the yarn, love the color. A bit different for me but stepping out of the box is good sometimes. I knit this much while I was away this weekend.
And this just begged to be touched and I couldn’t resist. This may not seem like a big deal but I’ve never had two pairs of socks on needles at the same time before. Someone once observed that I only knit socks when I’m stressed out (not entirely true) so what does two pairs at once say about me…
Look at that color!! There is so much going on. When these are finished I’ll show you what they remind me of. This colorway is Juniper (superwash merino). Here’s her blog.
And here’s what I now carry my projects and everything in.
I needed to scale down for spring/summer as well as the health of my back.
Can you say pockets boys and girls and so light. I love this bag. It’s by Baggallini, called the Messenger Bagg. Though it’s more like a backpack than a messenger bag, it’s small and I can only fit but so much in it. Anyway…this will be put to very good and frequent use. Can you believe the color I picked. There was a brown one but my friend wouldn’t let me and I’m so grateful.
So that’s where I am folks…gotta go knit me some socks now…
I just can’t seem to start another pair of socks but you are inspiring me…
