Work-in-Progress Wednesday 45


Hi everyone! I hope you're having a great week. My week is okay...busy. As usual, I'm watching my nieces today, so won't be able to get to everyone's posts until later tonight or Thursday. This is going to be a short post, as I'm super tired only getting a few hours of sleep.





I've worked some on these socks. I'm love love loving the pattern! I think the colors are awesome, too. This is being knit in Knit Picks Felici Caprica.




As you can see, I haven't worked much on these. I'm working on the chart now though, so I have to actually concentrate. Remember, this is a test pattern, so no Ravelry page yet for it that I know of. I'm excited to see it grow. :) I'll have to figure out how to photograph it when it's worth seeing it. This orange is so bright it's impossible to get a picture of it.




This is new for WIPW! I'm working on my first cowl and using Malabrigo for the first time. It's the Pedestrian Crossing Cowl. Alea and I decided to have a little KAL together. It's a fun knit which is nice, but since it's just two rows until the end, it may get a little boring. :) I love love love Malabrigo. I have two skeins of this, and the cowl will only take one, so I think I'll probably make a hat or gloves when it gets closer to winter with the other skein.


For those that are new to WIPW, to share your WIPW post with us, just fill out the Mr. Linky below. Despite it saying you must comment, don't feel as if you do. That is something Mr. Linky automatically adds. I just ask you to check out a few of the links posted to see what everyone else is working on and comment there if you can. Everyone loves feedback and a little encouragement on their projects! Also, please link back to this post in your post to get the word out! The more the merrier!

Please remember to use the new link to your post from this week, overriding the one that Mr. Linky saves from the previous. Thanks!

  1. I love that orange yarn. It reminds me of orange crush in a serious way. Love the look of your knitpicks socks too. Very cool.
    Sorry for the "slightly more hockey than knitting focused" post that I linked in. After tonight, one way or the other, things will finally get back to normal.

  7. I love the blues of the knit picks yarn - the pattern really shows off the colorway! Wow - that orange is bright - I know how the camera tends to mute colors so it must be eye popping in person! What? A cowl??? No third sock?? Hahahaha - it's looking very lovely!!

  12. What great socks, and you've picked wonderful colours, I always like your colours (I like the yarn you dye as well). We can get knitpicks here now!!! I bought some palette!!! Of course you can't get chroma fingering and that is the one I want. Never mind ;-).

  28. Hey Tami. We are all ok here. Heartbroken over the loss of course but more upset over a bunch of idiots who need to make chaos and ruin a great season for us all.
    I got word that your yarn arrived yesterday. Canada Post is on strike so the mail is very slow in coming. I`ll be home on Friday to see it : )
    thanks so much for your concern

  29. Nikki, so glad to hear. Thanks for letting me know. So sorry about the loss, and the ugliness in the city. I love the city of Vancouver, so it just pains me to watch the live footage on CTV. So glad to hear your yarn arrived!
