Knitting Projects

[liralen]

Uhm.. yeah... so since the Phoenix sweater, I pretty much dropped the ball so far as knitting was concerned.  I think I was a little burnt out, and so the two projects I now, finally, have actually started making progress on again aren't particularly huge or super spectacular or anything, but they're satisfying at the moment.

One is a prayer shawl for a person whose partner has been partially disabled by illness and who may or may not be bale to recover.  The other is a pair of Knitty Pomatomus socks for myself, just because I needed them.

Oh, and calmingeffects, would you want your socks to be kinda like those Pomatomus ones? But brighter colors and an anklet cuff?



 
This is the close up of the sock stitch detail.  You can also see the detail of the color changes within the bands of color.
 
This is the sock itself.  I liked how the colors pooled. 


And here's the fluffy alpaca shawl.  Hmm... seeing it like this I'm going to have to redo some of it to even out the stripes a little more, as I swapped philosophies right in the middle and it shows, badly.  *sigh*  Ah well.  Time to frog and redo it properly.

*snugs you warmly* I'm done with the first sock and working on the second. I'm thinking of waiting on finishing them to mail them and your paintings together. *smiles* Just so you know!

What the hell!?!? How do you do that!!!

*feels uncoordinated*

Uhm. One stitch at a time. *grin*

It's lots easier that way. I don't remember not being able to knit, really... so I learned it very young.

Ooooh~! Neat! =)

And that shawl really isn't that bad, but I can see what you mean by the stripes needing evening out~ Personally I think it gives it a different style and it's pretty good as is, but then again that's just me. XD

*hugs* Thanks!!

Yeah... I'll just pull some of it out and redo, that's the nice thing about knitting, one can fix things.

Thank goodness I don't, my piles of yarn all around the house would be in *serious* danger. *laughter*
