The Easter of Much Knitting

Now that the holidays are finally here, I’ve had some time to work on knitting projects. I’ve made some good headway on my peacock scarf—I love what you can do with short rows, and I love this yarn! That progress represents most of Downton Abbey Season 6.

I also finished the second Nelderoth sock! A lovely pattern, and one I’m already thinking of doing again, perhaps for myself, or perhaps for a gift… I’m all for Tolkien knitting!

I finished my second attempt at knit plaid; much happier with this one. I’m working on getting the instructions written up, and trying out a further refinement on the third one.

In the theme of ‘more effort than I usually devote to such things,’ I’ve been playing with a gingham dishcloth pattern I found. There is just something about taking a textile concepts and applying it to knitting… Just like knitted quilting, I find it fascinating!

Thought I’m not going to post a picture of it yet as there is only ribbing to see, I started my pair of Weeping Angel socks with the yarn my brother gave me for Christmas. I’m going to try some tweaks to this pattern as well; instructions are only a guideline, right? Also, I finally got motivated to finish my ‘Ned’ hat to match my Ned scarf. I made a band in the Ned pattern, sewed it together, and then picked up stitches and carried on with the Wurm pattern. So far, I’m pretty happy with the results! The big question, will the yarn hold out?
