I'm working on wrapping up my February knits - this year (all 2 months of it) - I've been trying to pick a couple of projects to focus on each month. Right now I'm wrapping up this month's pair of vanilla socks, my first red scarf of the year, a hitchhiker scarf/shawl. and a color work cowl that is a solstice kit from several years ago. I've been sticking to the concept behind the kit - 6 rounds a day - and it's gone well. Now I'm starting to think about my March knits ...
I’m making the Matte hood from Kavitha using Malabrigo worsted in Purple Mystery and pouring over the Lather pattern. I’m too far away for one of your kits but they sound luscious.
I usually have maybe 1 or 2 projects going at once but somehow right now I have 4. Not sure how to manage it. I always have socks cast on for a portable project. I started a cardigan for my husband (Gramps by Tin Can knits), and a couple smaller projects.
I try to work on all except the socks (they are catch as catch can) at least an hour every day, but as the cardigan increases stitches, the rows are taking longer. I’ll keep plodding and something will get finished!
I’ve never made a top down raglan sweater, and I am marveling at the way simple increases at strategic points shapes the knitted fabric. It’s the same magic as turning a heel.
I'm working on the second sleeve of the Brooklyn Raglan Lite by Tori Yu, really ready to be done with this one and I'm almost there. I also sew and today I put the closures to finish off a pair of Mitchell Trousers, my first zipper fly and they turned out well!
I'm working on a moonstone shawl very slowly. There's also a baby sweater for a new grandson being born in April. I may have rip out the sleeve, unfortunately.
I am working on a pair of very colorful socks. My daughter (who dresses solely in neutrals) has already claimed them. Oranges and turquoises with a little elephant on the calf. I'm 2/3 through the second sock so hope to finish them this week. I am also working on a sweater for me--trying to fill a gap in my wardrobe for "sweatshirts". It's a unique construction and the first time I tried it my gauge was off and when I was about 60% done I realized it was going to be a bit more fitted than I wanted and I ripped the entire thing. Better to knit it right than finish it and never wear it. But my best "make" was a recipe of Copycat Panera Orange Scones. I made a batch of the orange and then a batch using Meyer Lemons from our tree. While I still favor the orange---my husband loved the lemon. I'm going to try them with "plain old regular lemons" next--but will have to stop by the store for those!
Tomorrow I'm casting on a "trial" washcloth using dishcloth cotton--just to practice. I am SO excited for this kit! The idea of Luxurious Washcloths! So pampering for an item I use daily!
I'm making Pure Joy with Rowan's Merino-Yak blend I found in my stash. It's this gorgeous, subtle blue with gray yarn. I've paired it with a light heathered gray for the eyelets. It's a very meditative knit.
I usually have three to four projects I’m actively working on. Right now I have socks for TV knitting, a sweater by the bed, and a shawl at the kitchen table. Last week I finished Thea Coleman’s Mint Affligato scarf in red Myak Tibetan Cloud for a friend’s birthday. Next sock project will be Jeff’s Groovy 70s socks—love those. A vest and a sweater are up next, as well.
I finished making washcloths as gifts to my husbands coworkers and finished the first 100 grams of the nourish shawl! It’s my first shawl ever - first time cabling - will be my first bobbles. I started off kind of a wreck over it but have since found my groove.
I’m working on 2 projects. I’m making a Musselburgh hat for my son-in-law and a Dustland Cowl for myself. I love both projects.

Loved reading this one. Thank you so much for the shoutout! I have been making socks for my husband mostly.
I’m knitting a brioche hat right now. Practicing my brioche skills before I get my lather yarn. 😁

Currently, I am designing socks in my Indianapolis bedroom with the window open.
