Now that I've got my mojo back, I'm going crazy trying to finish things up (okay, I might have started something too!). Let's see, what to show first. I guess I'll start with the socks, since it's Socktoberfest. I'm working on two pairs simultaneously. First up, are the Mystic Sea socks started at Camp Cockamamie on Orcas Island, WA. These are knit with Socks that Rock, colorway Lunasea. I just love this yarn and the pattern is really great too.
Secondly, I just picked up again a pair from Cat Bordhi's Knitting Retreat in Newport, OR in April. This is one of the socks that may be found in her new book, New Pathways for Sock Knitters, Book 1. This pattern is called the Coreolis. I have made mine to just bring the coreolis pattern up to the start of the heel. In the book there are directions for making it spiral all the way up the sock. This is such a cool pattern! The yarn is also Socks that Rock, colorway- Blue Brick Wall. This is one of my favorite STR colorways ever. There are little tiny bits of purple that snuck in. When I asked Tina about this she said the purple is from the dye behaving badly and some people don't like it. I happen to think it's marvelous!
Quilting continues along on My Bootiful Booquet. Right now I'm just outlining the applique, but I plan to quilt a spider web into the purple background. I'm still trying to decide what color and type of thread to use for that.
Now, here's the new thing I started. I love the Soft Trees that were all the rage last Christmas when Stephanie put her pattern on her blog, Little Birds. I've been planning to make some ever since. Chloe is making some too and it's been fun to plan how to decorate each one.
Lastly, just because it's Halloween season after all, take a look at this and say awwwww!
