March Stats

In March, I finished 1 pair of socks and 3 shawls. In total I used up 6 balls of yarn/ 1,752 yards.  This is my highest yardage for a single month in a very long time. I don't think I'll be able to repeat this amount in April.

WIP: Tiny Tea Leaves

I've been sick, so I haven't been knitting too much. I decided to make the Tiny Tea Leaves Cardigan for the girls. I finished the body of the first one. It still needs sleeves and the button band. I decided to knit the body of the second one. (No photo of the second one because I barely started it.) And when that's finished I'll knit the sleeves for both cardigans and the button bands.

I also started a pair of socks, but they are barely cast on, so no photo of that one either.

Twitterpated

Pattern: None

Yarn: Neeley's Knits Sports weight in Twitterpated

Needles: US Size 3 DPNs

Started on: Feb. 7th

Finished on: Mar. 26th

Comments: This is a plain K3, P1 rib. There's no good reason why this sock took me this long to knit. I just kept putting it down in favor of other projects. I'm glad to have this one off the needles. I think I finally hunkered down and finished it because I really wanted a new pair of socks for me.

Shaelyn

Pattern: Shaelyn designed by Leila Raabe

Yarn: Lara Smoot Designs Gradient in Pretty In Pink

 Needles: US Size 6

Started on: Mar. 1st

Finished on: Mar. 19th

Comments/Modifications: I knit one extra repeat of the main pattern. I knit all the repeats the same. I didn't do the different stitch in the last repeat as the pattern stated, because I forgot to. I don't think it's anything noticeable.

I always enjoy working with gradients and see the color progression. It makes me knit faster to get to the next color. This was a fun shawl to knit, most of it is mindless and makes for great TV knitting.

WIP: This and That

My knitting is a bit of randomness lately. It's a bit of this and that. I found some languishing UFOs that I'd like to finish up.

Juno Regina - I just started this yesterday. So there's not much to see yet. I finished the first chart. The yarn I'm using is the lovely Lorna's Laces in Helen's Laces in Cranberry. This lives in my sheepy project bag. 

Hitchhiker - I re-found this older project recently and put a few more rows on it. I don't remember why I put it aside in the first place. The yarn is Neeley's Knits in BFL/Silk in Elsa's Ice Castle. This lives in my cats project bag. 

Cinder Block socks - This is another knit that I re-found. I really love this yarn and color. It's Claudia's Handpainted yarns in fingering weight in Blue Ridge Blue. This lives in my daytime owls bag.

Twitterpated - No photo of this one, because I'm ashamed to say that I didn't work on it at all since last week. This lives in my nighttime owls bag. 

25

I've not worked on this in a long while, but last week I managed to knit a few new squares. I'm up to 25 now.

WIP

Shaelyn -This yarn is Lara Smoot Designs in Pretty in Pink colorway. It's a beautiful gradient yarn. I'm getting so close to the part where it changes to the new color. Must knit faster! So far I've knit 3 repeats of the main chart of the shawl. I'm really enjoying knitting on this shawl.

Twitterpated - It's pitiful how little work I put in on this sock this week. The only time I've worked on it was waiting in line at the DMV. It's my basic K3, P1 ribbed socks on Neeley's Knits Sports weight in the Twitterpated colorway. This is the second sock. I hope to put a real dent in it and at least be on the heel turn or foot by next week.
