Work-in-Progress Wednesday 75


Hi everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I had a good time in Los Angeles, despite the Kings totally playing like crap. I also found a few awesome treasures, 3 vintage cardigans, at my favorite vintage shop. It's this great little place that has clothes, accessories and even weird knickknacks. It's totally amazing every time we make it there.

Enough about my weekend, onto WIPW:

This is the same sock I showed last WIPW unfortunately. I haven't had much time to work on it, and to be honest, I just wasn't feeling it at knit night on Monday. As you can see, the brown is swirling around the leg and I'm just starting the heel flap. I better get trucking on this though, as I have to finish this pair before February 1, as we start a new pattern then.

Instead of working on the sock on Monday, or in the past few days, I did a few more rows of my Rhombi cardigan. It's ALMOST long enough to do the edging and cast off the body. I didn't bother taking a picture, since it looks the same, just with more stockinette/body.

I've also made a few more hexipuffs, now that I'm finished with my Christmas knitting. I love how quick I can finish one, as I'm usually a slow knitter. Funny enough, I made three before the holidays, and they're a little small. I think they were about 2.5" point to point. My new ones are bigger, but I haven't had a chance to measure. I used the same yarn (different colorways) and same needles. I'm guessing I was just a little more stressed or trying too hard on my first few, so I knit tighter. Anyway, I'll be sharing them on Friday for FO Friday. :)

Speaking of hexipuffs, I'll be posting a NEW Candy Skein Yummy mini set on Thursday afternoon/evening. If you like blues and teals, you have to make sure to come back and check them out. They'll be on sale starting as soon as I post them. As the other set sold out pretty quickly, I'm guessing this one will as well.

That's it for me today! Have a great Wednesday!

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!

  1. Hi Tami :) I'll be back later with my post link (need to take the pictures first, and the sun hasn't risen here yet!). Some other link parties I join in use http://www.inlinkz.com/features.php which gives a little picture thumbnail along with the link. http://creativecollectiveblog.com are using it at the moment if you want to have a look. I know nothing about it, except that it's very easy for commenters to use!

    See you later!

  7. I think the sock looks great! I love the way the brown is pooling/swirling. :) I, too, am a slow knitter---and boy are the hexipuffs some instant gratification.

  20. That colorway is so wonderful. I, too, have gone back to the hexipuffs now that holiday knitting is over. I had forgotten what a joy they are.
    Right now I'm makin' crazy pants. ;-)

  45. Love the colour of your socks! I'm looking forward to starting some hexipuffs now that my Christmas knitting is out of the way :)

    ReplyDelete
  46. That is a really nice colour of wool your using for your socks, and i look forward to seeing hexipuffs....I dont even knit, but i wish i could try making them!

    ReplyDelete
  47. The sock is looking great so far!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Love the color of the socks! I like the way the darker parts wrap nicely around :)

  49. Looking forward to see the end result. I admire people who can knit or crochet socks or stockings!

    ReplyDelete
  50. I would love to see pics of your vintage cardigan finds! That is funny about the hexipuffs, I always knit tighter when I feel stressed too. Your sock looks great!

    ReplyDelete
  51. I'd love to make the hexipuffs with everyone but knitting is not my forte. However, I always have some crochet project on the go like my bag I just posted my link for.
