WiP Wed #2

I'm excited for how much progress I've made on various things not even in the last week, just in the last few days! I finally started my other fingerless mitt and hoping to have the set complete in time for FO Friday this week! I'm kind of itching to start another pair (different pattern too) once those are complete. I think it's the change in finally having cold weather that's got me motivated for some winter accessories!


I also picked my Knook back up after having it hibernate a couple weeks. Started my fourth leaf for the table runner that by the time it's finished it won't be Autumn anymore but that's ok, it'll be finished!


Beginning of the month also means I started my next square in my Vortex blanket! This one is going quickly I'm assuming because I'm so used to the pattern at this point!


Also starting a blanket soon but when my Herrschners shipment gets here decides on which one I start. I've got some Caron Simply Soft in various colors that will eventually become a striped bobble blanket and I have the afghan kit I mentioned a few days ago on its way to my house. I'm hoping to start one of those either end of this week, beginning of next week depending on progress on everything else goes!

All three of those projects above were started Tuesday morning during the little one's naptime so I felt highly productive that day! I always hate the first few beginning rows of projects so I figured if I could get myself several rows in on each one, it'd be a breeze to complete them within the next week or so.

    I very much in a fingerless mitt mood myself, and as soon as I get off the computer I'm going to cast on a pair. I love the yarn you are using. I can't wait to see what the table runner looks like, was the pattern from Ravelry?

    I know what you mean - I really want to cast on lots of mitts and legwarmers! Should really finish the projects I'm already working on first though ;)

    Everything looks great. I am knitting socks with Deborah Norville Serenity sock. Isn't it lovely.

    Everything looks great. I love the colors in the yarn you are using for your fingerless mitts, and I really love the pink and lime green together for the blanket. I can't wait to see them finished!

    @Andria

    The pattern is actually for a leaf shaped washcloth but I decided to make it out of wool instead of cotton so I can felt several of the leaves and make some sort of a table runner with the felted pieces. We'll see how it goes!

    I find the cold weather a great motivator too! You're off to a great start on these projects!
