Knitting Update

I have been working on my Habitation throw and a sock for February

While watching various TV shows (Invisible Boys was particularly good), I have been knitting.

The Habitation Throw is by Helen Stewart and I am using the yarn from the Kate Davies Design Advent Calendar. It’s an easy pattern – perfect for TV knitting – there is just one row with K2tog and YO where you need to be paying a little bit of attention, otherwise it’s all knit.

I have started socks for February. Using my yarn from Tasmania. I am doing a twisted rib cast on (K1(tbl)P1) and then I am going to do a simple twisted stitch pattern for the leg, from the Twisted Stitch Sourcebook – I am struggling a bit with the LT (left twist), I knit a swatch and I did improve, so hopefully the actual sock will be fine.

Finished Socks

Christmas Socks

I finished my Christmas Eve socks. I even wore them on holiday because I didn’t pack enough socks!

The yarn is Gingerbread from Circus Tonic Yarns. And the pattern is from Helen Stewart (and I think it is the Ambient sock pattern). I used my own sock recipe and used her pattern in the leg and foot.

Usual 2.25 mm knit pro zings.

Sock Finish

Finished Socks!

I have finished my Dunsborough socks! The yarn is from Text and Co in Dunsborough (but it is a Circus Tonic set),

The cable pattern is from Second Chance Romance socks by Lauren Rad (Bee in a Bonnet), but I did my own sock recipe.

I used 2.25mm circular needle, cast on 64 stitches, heel flap and gusset, and Kate Atherley’s sock toe.

Now I have started knitting the Habitation Throw by Helen Stewart with my Kate Davies Advent Calendar yarn.

First ball of yarn

I made my husband randomly pick a ball from the bag of 24.
