Year of Projects: Year 7 Week 3

Still Don't Have a Header..I'll Make One This Weekend

Good morning!  So I've updated my list.  I actually have more socks than I showed on the video (last week's post, if you missed it).  I have a pair that is only a cuff and one repeat, the Espalair ones.  I also have a pair that I frogged the leg on one of the socks, as I'd done the two socks at different times and the different tension was obvious.  They are beaded...so they'll be making a reappearance at some point.

I started a new shawl, The Van Gogh.  I bought the yarn last week at Slater Mill.  It's from Fiber Stash and I think I want it done for St. Patrick's Day...It's a dropped stitch shawl, so may go fast.  I started it today and got through three repeats, I think I'm going to love it!

I also "restarted" the Zomboni scarf.  I didn't frog the whole thing and the beginning is a mess, I couldn't read the pattern yet.  But once I got it going, I'm loving it! The yarn is The Farmer's Daughter in Foxy Lady.  It's a 70% merino, 30% silk blend and just lovely

Sorry the quality of the picture is so bad, it was close to ten at night.

Some other stash acquisitions..I need to start the Saturday acquisitions posts back again

Shirsty Cat, colorway is Buzz Buzz in BFL Sock and Alpaca Poof - to be a cowl

Hedgehog Fibres Kidsilk Lace - to be a scarf

Shibu Knits in Cima and Silk CLoud (this blue!!! Swoon! And I am not a blue fan) - another cowl

Oink Pigments (the solid) Mystic, its Dk in Dijon Vu
Spun Right Round Squish DK in Rumble in Brighton - one more cowl

This I bought at Slater Mill.  It was discounted from Christmas.  I mainly got it for the straights.  I don't have a ton of straights.  There are 18 pair included.  You could have chosen one with circs (my friend Maureen got those) or crochet hooks. They are just plain bamboo straights.  The yarn and mug were included.  I don't use cotton too often, it hurts my hands too much, although I can crochet with cotton without too much issue...

So I'm getting ready to publish.  Been dealing with a nasty headache all morning.  I do have another video ready, but my wifi is being a b*tch!   The Hubs and I can't even send each other GIFs right now!  I'm going to have to go to my other house and clear the cache, let the pictures and videos upload, because they are just stuck right now...we did have a snowstorm which does affect our reception....

I use my camera for stash photos, so I don't have to upload them via the wifi, as I use the SDHC card...I might try video taping that way too, but my camera does not have a front facing screen option...or just keep dealing with the wifi issues.

Anyway, I will have a video up on my Youtube channel (Graceysgoodies) probably late tomorrow.  It is about my 11 shawl WIPs that I have heading into the new year...without the two more I cast on since then!

See you in the comments!
