What's on Kelie's Sticks:  (she's khalila on Ravelry)




Potato Chip Number 1

- She and her son are about half-finished with the first of three teacher gift scarves.  Together they are working on the Potato Chip Scarf using soft squishy cotton yarn from Galler Yarns called Inca Eco.
- Her Tequila Sunrise Jacket got put on the back burner while she worked on newer shinier projects ;-)
- She's about half-way through The Poseidon Socks she's working on for her Number 1 Son based on the Straight Up Sock Pattern. So far, both socks are still accounted for.
- No word from the missing Social Network sock yet!  wah...


What's on Wendy's Sticks:  (she's socalknitgirl on Ravelry)

Openwork Cardi is DONE!

- Cha-Ching!  Finally finished the Openwork Cardigan.  It even fits!  Only took 11 months - doh!
- Almost finished spinning on the Merino Silk project I started at the end of last year.  Trying to finish that soon so I can cast on the Hey, Teach! sweater (modified to be a v-neck).
- Finished and mailed a super secret giftie that I can't post here until it's received  :-)


Dreambird Shawl KAL:  Kelie and I love this pattern by Nadita Swings Designs, so we've invited members of our Ravelry Group to join us to knit it over the summer!  There is a thread about this KAL on our Ravelry discussion board if you would like to join us, too!  Just Click Here...

Kelie and I have both been spinning the yarn for the "feather" portion of our shawls, and you can see the progress below. So pretty! And today, Kelie dyed us each a skein of dark blue yarn to use for our background color.  We're casting on tomorrow - woohoo!! 



Wendy's Feathers

What's on Kelie's Sticks:



- Cha-Ching! She finished her Fourth pair of Social Network socks by Lucy Neatby, but... after finishing the second sock, she can not find the first one.  Doh!!!  We've put out an APB.
- Her Tequila Sunrise Jacket is in the home stretch!  She's working on sleeve number 1, and wishes she had shorter arms.
- She's working on socks for her Number 1 Son based on the Straight Up Sock Pattern with a slip stitch pattern substituted for the ribbing.  She calls them his Poseidon Socks.

Infant and Child Sizes - yay!

What's on Wendy's Sticks:

- Cha-Ching!  I started and finished the Child Size pair of Kid Zebra Sock test knit.  Looks so cute!
- Cha-Ching!  And...  since I had lots of knitting time over the last couple of weeks while travelling, I also started and finished the Live Oak Shawlette by Romi Hill.  This consumed the last skein of handspun in my stash, so there's room for more now.   
- So close to being done with the Openwork Cardigan.  The body has been blocked to help determine the right sleeve length.  It even fits!  Just need to finish the sleeves now  :-)
- Almost finished spinning on the Merino Silk project I started at the end of last year.  Didn't quite make my goal is to finish it before the first, but there is only an ounce or so left to go.
- Almost finished with the border on the new shawl design, which features an edging adorned with i-cord. I'm using the Serene yarn in Salt Water Taffy. This will be a crescent-style shawl, and now I need to figure out what the body will look like!
- Almost finished with the Snowman Hat and Mitten Set from our new 4-ply superwash merino that we'll be releasing this summer.  The pattern is all written and ready to go.  I just need to sew a button on the hat, and stitch the faces onto the mittens.

Mullet Sock KAL:  The Mullet Sock knit-along is coming to a close soon, and it's not to late to join in on the fun!  Business in the Front, Party in the Back!  This design is what happens when an innocent looking group of cables decide to mix it up when they hit the gusset!  Mullet Socks are constructed from the toe up, and feature a tricked-out no-flap gusset heel.  This pattern is written for three widths, and the instructions are provided in text and charts for DPN, Magic Loop, and Two Circular Needle methods.

Episode 57: A Summer Knit-Along

Today our beautiful weather inspires us to plan a Summer Shawl Knit-along.  And we're even

Vampire Heels

going to be good and finish a few things before we start!

Listen To Episode 57: A Summer Knit-Along


What's on Kelie's Sticks:



- Her Tequila Sunrise Jacket has been getting regular attention, and is going well.  Almost done with the body!
- She finished sock number one from her Fourth! pair of Social Network socks by Lucy Neatby, and is half-way through with the second one.  Home stretch!
- After frogging the socks she started for her son, she's pretty sure she is going to restart them using the Straight Up Sock pattern

What's on Wendy's Sticks:

New shawl design in process

- Almost finished with the border on the new shawl design, which features an edging adorned with i-cord. I'm using the Serene yarn in Salt Water Taffy. This will be a crescent-style shawl, and now I need to figure out what the body will look like!
- Almost finished with the Snowman Hat and Mitten Set from our new 4-ply superwash merino that we'll be releasing this summer.  The pattern is all written and ready to go.  I just need to sew a button on the hat, and stitch the faces onto the mittens.
- Been making crazy progress on the Openwork Cardigan I'm working on using ribbon yarn.  Just need to finish the sleeves  :-)
- Did my knitting section on Kelie's Travelling Socks that passed my way again.  This time I followed her Vampire theme suggestion and Got My Fang On!  These heel turns are going to have to be the basis for a new sock design for sure.
- Did a lot of spinning on the Merino Silk project I started at the end of last year.  My goal is to finish it before the first, and that should be do-able.

Top-Down Sleeve Video I talked about...
Paula Ward made a two part set of videos that cover the math and short row techniques used to knit sleeves in from the top down.  Love this technique!

Listen To Episode 56: Three-Fingered Sprinkles


What's on Kelie's Sticks:




Kelie's Rock Band Embroidered Travelling Socks

- She started some birthday socks for her oldest son, but unfortunately is not liking the way the pattern is turning out, so those are going to the Frog Pond.  Wah....  instead, she may cast on some good old Jaywalkers or Monkey Socks.  Those patterns are time-tested for sure!
- She has finished the next section on her local Travelling Socks, using these Rock Band Potholder Charts to embelish her socks to fit her rock star theme.  So cool!
- Her Tequila Sunrise Jacket has grown a bit, and is going well.
- She finished sock number one from her Fourth! pair of Social Network socks by Lucy Neatby

What's on Wendy's Sticks:

New shawl design in process

- Still test knitting our new worsted weight 4-ply superwash merino, and it is SO nice to work with!  Very soft and cushy, with a nice twist.  Finalizing the Snowman Hat and Mitten Set from this yarn.  The hat pattern has been expanded to three sizes, and the mittens to four sizes.  I figured "big girls" might like this set, too  :-)
- Working on my new shawl design featuring an edging adorned with i-cord.  I'm using the Serene yarn in Salt Water Taffy.  This will be a crescent-style shawl, and the photo shows the progress of the border so far.  I'm really liking it!
- Still test knitting the baby Zebra Socks - these are way cute!
