WIP Wednesday

Today I have a sock and a cardigan to show you :-)

The sock pattern is Waihi socks by Sezza.

I've turned the heel as you can see but I'm a bit stuck now. My gauge is off and although that wasn't an issue with my chunky ankles (!) it's making the heel not fit quite right. I've decreased a few extra stitches so I should probably work a few more rows and see if it sorts itself out, otherwise I might have to frog back and redo the heel.

This is the beginning of a sleeve for the Happy Days cardigan. I started it last night and it's satisfyingly quick to knit in comparison to the body. I'm finding my stitches have a tendency to be tighter though for some reason so I'm having to concentrate a little more on that. Hopefully it won't be too long before I have two finished sleeves ready to join onto the body and not long after that comes the scary bit!

I think today I'll work on my sock a bit more because it's such a lovely pattern to knit and I'm really cross with myself for not doing a big enough gauge swatch/having odd shaped feet! To find out what other people are up to this week visit Tami's Amis

  2. The cardigan and socks are wonderful! I hope the extra decreases are all your sock needs.

  3. That is one great sock color way. Sorry you're having trouble with it a bit. I will cross my fingers for you.
    My color work sts are more relaxed than my knitting ones.
