Finished Object

Hey all! I've got a very pretty FO to show off to you!

P1010004

Pattern: Shetland Triangle by Evelyn Clark in the book Wrap Style
Yarn: Wollmeise 100% superwash in Buxtranzl (boxwood) from the first Wollmeise Sock Club shipment
Needles: Size 6 Addis
Mods: 12 pattern repeats instead of the 8 the pattern calls for
Notes: Cast on March 1, finished and blocked March 11. This is a very easy pattern - I found the pattern repeat easily memorized - I even took off 3 or 4 days of knitting and still finished this in under 2 weeks! YAY!

Knitting Progress

So, I'm trying to do a few more posts than recently, and I've been knitting (surprise) so here's the progress!

shetland triangle 2

With a bad case of KDD (knitters' ADD) I cast on the Shetland Triangle by Evelyn Clark (Wrap Style) on Sunday (yes, yesterday!) I knit the neck and 2 body repeats yesterday and blew through 4 more body repeats today. If I get some QKT (quality knitting time) tomorrow after work, I may be able to finish this bad boy... I only have 2 more repeats on the body, the edging and then cast off! This is a very FAST knit and a pretty easy lace pattern as they go. I'm using the Buxtranzel Wollmeise from the first sock club shipment and I'm really loving it.

Yesterday, I also cast on for the Victorian Neck Cozy by WendyKnits (I told you KDD!) I was making a few mistakes in the Shetland triangle, but still felt like knitting so I cast on and knit about 3 rows... No progress shot of this as I haven't picked it up yet today. I also cast on for a garter stitch discloth (KDD for reals) because I was *tired* but waiting for a phone call from the bf... luckily, he called very soon after and I went to bed! I did not cast on the 2nd marigold sock however, but will probably do that by the end of the week. Happy knitting everyone!
