For the rest of the year in terms of knitting and crochet I’m focusing on completing projects, using up yarn that I already have in my stash… much of which was bought with specific projects in mind. So, in order to keep track of what I’ve achieved, I plan to share regular pictures of my progress (possibly in the form of WIP Wednesdays, but I may not be that organised/productive). Today, I give you one skeleton hat pattern test, the first of the honeycomb cables socks nearly finished, and the back of the golden spikes jumper completed.
Strangely it’s all knitting, but I do need to make some bird roosts, as I’ve sold out of one design in my etsy shop and so some crochet is in the offing. I have a couple of train journeys in the next few days so I’m hoping to make progress on the second sock.

/ September 13, 2017I adore your knitted skeletons, and I’m so glad you’re working on a pattern for them – it would be sad if no one else could play with them too!

/ September 13, 2017I charted them ages ago, but somehow I never got round to turning it into a proper pattern. It feels very satisfying to actually get round to sorting this out now… I just hope the chart file is still somewhere on my computer as they take ages to compile.

/ September 13, 2017I reckon it’d be a best seller if you do sort it out!

/ September 13, 2017Funnily enough someone mentioned this morning that the gremlins only ever eat one sock of the pair that went in the wash – it seems that they often get knotted in 2 phases. Last night I started on a second weeks after finishing the first. Maybe there is a connection?

/ September 14, 2017I’d probably need a longer adventure to finish the sock, although I am hoping that sock number 2 is quicker than number one and requires less frogging (and has fewer mistakes)

/ September 14, 2017I designed the skeleton years ago and have been very remiss about getting it converted into a pattern.
