First up I changed the colors to purple, white and black for the Wintergreen Gloves (free Rav Pattern).

These are coming along, but a little neglected at this point.

Another neglected project are my slugs.  I want to do two more and his one still needs lips and eyes… whoops.

Me in my Gretel

I blocked it out and I’m glad now I didn’t make the slouchy.  This is just the regular.  I’ve thought about re-wetting it and getting down to a smaller size.  Alpaca does block out well.  Please excuse the crazy picture.  I took with with my computer camera.

Fetching

Secondly I had nearly a whole ball left, so a pair of Fetching happened.  Lovely.  There is still about a 1/3 ball of this yarn left.  I think it will fester in the stash for a while.  The yarn is City Tweed by KnitPicks – the aran weight.

I always have various socks in progress.  Eventually I get them to the point I need to work on them during a block of uninterrupted time.  Here we have some of my own hand-dyed, 2-at-a-time on one long circular.

I’m decreasing the gusset now and will be going up the leg soon.

Not too bad. I figured I would start another pair, but I worked on Bee Fields instead. I love utilitarian knitting for use, but sometimes… well big yawn, but it is so useful as I’m sure these will be.

Wow! It’s hard to take a picture of your arm one handed.  (lol)  The good thing is knit in one evening even after ripping the thumb back to get it just so a couple of times.  After the second I’m going to try a different fingerless mitt one.  These are part of the request for mittens from Mother.
