This and That

I'm using this last week in September to ONLY work on projects that are already started. I will wait patiently until October to start my Socktoberfest socks and the 2 hats that are calling me .

So here is where I stand today...

	I've stalled on the Fair Game socks. It's not that I don't like them (I still think they are extraordinary), but somehow my enthusiasm for colorwork socks is crumbling. I'm going to try to do at least a few rows everyday - they WILL get done!

Tangled Yoke is started and will be my only "big" project until it's done. Right now, I am working on this sweater only when mindless knitting is needed. I was worried that my yarn - Rowan Felted Tweed in color #149 which does not seem to exist anymore (OLD stash yarn) was too dark, but the garter rib shows up nicely so I hope the cables will too.

Mystery Socks AKA Scherherazades Slippers are done through clue 3. This is a very different sock pattern - not easy to knit 2 together on one circular because of the ongoing need to move stitches toward the sole from the instep. I have managed to do this though, using my toothpick method. This heel is new for me - it has little holes, but it is still pretty and very easy. I love how the pattern swirls around to the back of the leg.

I am also SLOWLY working on the red quilt - I won't bore you with anymore pictures until it is more than just a pile of blocks.
