Charlotte's Web

Socks That Rock
First 3 colors: Jade, County Clare, and Ms. La Rock

Finished Koigu Shawl - still to be blocked

Feeling Lost

I feel a bit odd only working on one project. I am not casting on anything and have put the hibernating projects away to avoid all distraction. Per the rules I cannot work on the Starmore sweaters. That leaves the Socks That Rocks Charlotte Web. I don't think this has ever happened before - just one project being worked on. It's making me anxious.

I ordered a second ball of Zauberball in the blues and greys. I must have a Clapotis in those colors. It will be the first thing I cast on after the Olympics!!!!

Finally - Ick Koigu

I finally finished the Koigu Charlotte's Web Shawl. I have knit a pair of socks and now this shawl with Koigu. I truly dislike this yarn. I unfortunately have more in my stash. I think I will finally be using the Trade/Sell button in Ravelry. I cannot stand the thought of knitting with this yarn again. I don't know which poor family member or friend I am going to foist this shawl off on.

Down to three active projects. I will get back to the Socks That Rock Charlotte's Web, which I love, and be ready for the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. I think I have chosen the Glenesk for the Starmore WipDown Ravelympics. I am on the neck shaping. Once that is complete I will have both sleeves to knit. I don't think it's doable but it will be fun to try.

I Forgot (SPOILER - BMFA RSC)

Forgot to mention in last evening's post. My Rockin Sock Club kit came. I don't like the color of the yarn, various shades of pink. I HATE pink. But I like the patterns, they will probably be nice in a different colorway.

I also got a skein of Twin Pinie from Wollmeise. I love that colorway!!!

Off The Needles

The Haiku Textured Scarf - blocking.


The Clapotis does not need blocking. This silk cashmere blend yarn drapes beautifully. I don't even have much curling on the edges.



I have reached color #5 in the Koigu Charlotte's Web. I was hoping to get further along on that one this weekend. But the knitting is slowing down now that I am at 251 stitches.

Quick Update

I finished the Clapotis Wednesday night. I love it so much, I will definitely be making another. I am back on the Koigu Charlotte's Web. I finished the transition between colors 3 and 2 and I have 14 more rows of just color 3. I want to finish this one this weekend so I can focus on the Socks That Rock Charlotte's Web. I would like to finish that one before the Ravelympics begin. I am dying to cast on some socks, but I know I won't be able to put them down once I start them. That Happy Choices has me very curious. I am going to make the Lillebror socks , and I want to see how working from - basically a scarf of yarn - works. We'll see how it goes. Ciao for now.

Clap Clap Clap

I worked solely on my Clapotis last night. I am starting the decreases, section 4. The scarf is so soft and I am using much less yarn than I expected. I love it. I will definitely be making another one if these in the future.
