Sunday's Yarns

So here's my knitting week in review:
I've picked up the Honey Cowl again,
and am loving knitting on it!


It's just so easy!!!

As you can see, my Stones & Stripes Shawl
is coming along....
slowly -
but it is coming along!



I love knitting it,
but don't always have the time.

And this is the other mindless cowl
that has grabbed my free knitting time:


The Manic Panic Cowl.

I am using leftover sock yarn,
which can make for an interesting mix.
My photo is poor,
the red/orange/yellow blend is my own dye job,
and it is far more vibrant
than it appears above.
The contrast between it and the lovely blue/green blend
is really nice.  
Maybe next week I can snap a better image.
This cowl uses the linen stitch,
and it is very dense
and extremely addictive.

Once I finish the Honey Cowl,
I am planning to start another pair of socks...
I need some leftover sock yarn
for my Manic Panic Cowl!  LOL

Any suggestions on toe-up sock patterns?
I'm all ears.
I need something relatively mindless -
and very portable,
as we will be traveling.

* I look forward to your suggestions. *

thanks for dropping by

peace to you!

I could send you the sock yarn that I have purchased and have yet to knit into socks. :)

What a great name Manic Panic is. No suggestions for toe up socks I'm afraid, all my attempts to knit socks turn into disasters.

Judy! Love the honey cowl, the stones & stripes is grand, and the other cowl using leftover yarn is a great idea. I know what you mean about time, especially when a person needs to focus on a pattern. It's a big club we're in, eh? ;) xo
