Wednesday's WIP's

I'm really enjoying my current WIP's, they're all knitting projects at the moment although I'm starting to plan my next crochet project for when I've finished one of these.

First up is my rainbow socks, I'm just knitting until I get to the end of the yarn. I'll probably start the cuff once I get to the red section. The yarn is from Mothy and the Squid on etsy. I've tweaked the colours a little as my camera washed them out but they're really bright and saturated in real life.

My second WIP is another pair of socks, these use the Express Lane pattern which is free on ravelry and very easy to knit and remember. I've taking these socks as my car knitting project and I'm almost ready to start doing the cuff. The safety pins are to remind me what row I'm on :)

Lastly we have my first attempt at designing my own pattern. I'm using the Incredible Custom Fit Raglan as the basis for the pattern. The cable is from here and I'm planning a shawl collar. As you can see I've recently separated the arms off so it's progressing much faster now. Currently it's in time out though after I had to perform some surgery on the cable. I'd missed a cross over 4 rows back so had to drop the stitches down, rearrange them and then use a crochet hook to bring them back up.

This sweater is destined for Mr Soaring Sheep, I work on it when he's away with work during the week and then he gets made to try it on to check the fit at the weekend. Poor boy lol.


So that's my current projects :-) I'm linking this post up with Keep Calm Craft On and Yarn Along so pleased hop over to those blogs if you want to see more crafting posts. Thanks for visiting, I'm going to try to visit lots of your blogs this afternoon as I'm in the mood for some crafty inspiration

  11. You go, cable surgeon. I would have no clue on where the cable crosses. That blue is so electric. I think it's smart to knit two at a time socks. One wouldn't have to keep weighing yarn or even trying to halve the skein.
