Call me the finisher

In this last week before the chillin’s come back, I managed to get a LOT done! Too bad Stash Dash wasn’t going… Boy am I going to miss the knitting time now that term is starting…

First of all, I finished a the sherbet Mystik Spiral socks; here is a close up of the ‘fore-thought gusset’ I’m continuing to work on.

I also finished spinning up the (probably) alpaca that I used the dried up cake dye on a couple years ago. Very different to spin than the other fibers I have tried so far, but such beautiful yarn!

Then, on Saturday, I knocked out the first of my Fake Isle hats. I love the way it turned out—it was hard to see what all the colors were in the ball, but I took a leap of faith and am pretty pleased with the result.

Want to see the floats? I find the inside of colorwork fascinating in its own right…

On Sunday I finished my Apatosaurus while talking to my youngest brother; he thought it was funny that I was so stoked. Muggle!

On Tuesday I knocked out the second Fake Isle Hat; the color is now all gone. I like them both, but the first one is going to be mine I think…

Tonight, Wednesday, I caked up some of my lovely Indian Corn handspun,

and cast on a Bias Loop cowl. This is what the first ball (that didn’t fit with the repeats) looks like knit up. So squishy!

I have also made some good progress over the last three or four days on the Lost Lake Mystik Spiral socks. I think I might finally have the last lingering issues (mine) ironed out now.

Now if you'll excuse me, my life is about to explode.
