Happy Sunday!
It’s been a busy couple of weeks here, so I don’t think I have as much to share as usual, but here it goes…
First off, the boyfriend socks now have heels and are modeled by the intended wearer:
I just have about an inch of ribbing to go, and then i can cast them off and post a picture of the finished socks (maybe even later today). Yay!
And then there’s my sweater. I think I mentioned last time that I had decided to bite the bullet and get a set of KnitPicks interchangeable circular needles. They come with needle tips and cables that screw together to make multiple sizes of circular needles, instead of having to buy all different needles sizes and lengths of cables, which can get expensive. Well, they came last week:
I resisted the temptation all this week (wanting to finish the socks before I started my sweater), but finally gave in to the temptation on Thursday night. Here are the sleeves cast on, with the hem portion already finished and the first row of the cable pattern started. And yes, those are CBtE’s orthodontic rubber bands on the needles for markers. 🙂
I’m really looking forward to working on the sweater for awhile. The needles are much larger and the yarn much heavier than what I use for socks, so it should go pretty quickly.
That’s all I’ve got this week. What’s on your needles?
