This entrelac swatch is a hoot to do. The SWS yarn changes color nicely for this pattern.
It was hard to tell what would happen with the instructions I was following. I was a little lazy with this one as I was exploring other possibilities with the leftover SWS yarn. The result is distorted but cute. Now I am in a rut to bind this off. When I am able to do that, I would like to make a pouch of it and felt it.
I need help on how to bind this off. I have messed up somewhere in my lazy knitting and cannot follow the last row instructions. I want this done quick and without angst so I can continue with my WOP below...
*tossing it to the UFO pile for now.*
Working through my Stash...
I'm trying to be a good girl and keep at the motivation to decrease my stash. I had a bit of a fall out with my determination and bought two more skeins for a giftee in mind. Even though I have started it.. I'm a little confused by the directions and I need to do another read-through so that I can anticipate what I am doing!
I have four socks on needles - one is a pair of slippers (book photo of greeen socks shown), I hope these will be good for yet another giftee. As I'm using self striping yarn in strong colors, I fear the eyelets may not show through. We'll see.
The koigu Broadripple I had to frog back 10 rows and start again. Its slow going but will get faster now that I have the pattern ingrained (?!?) in my mind...
The denim blue is cabled work (featured in 25 Favorite Socks book) and is easy to memorize.
To offset my sock projects I have the Gothic Leaf Stole. I will also do a Cloche hat with yummy cashmere by Handmaiden.
I still enjoy taking peeks at knitting blogs but I am trying desperately to stay off the computer and focus on the yarny goods. I have two weeks off to make progress and plan to post during the September long weekend. In the meantime I wanted to show my determination. I hope I'm not nuts to have so many projects going on at once... I've not done many WIPs in the past...
See you later!

Wow! The entrelac looks beautiful. You should finish that off.
It dawned on me that a lot of the old hits I have posted might be all new to you. Are you digging your new 'state of the art sound system'?

Great job on that entrelac! I love how the SWS works out.
Good for you in working thru the stash. Can you rub off on me? ;-}
PS...about socks, once you've done a few pair, they breeze by. Are you using 2 circs or dps?
