This weekend, I finished up my Hecate Shawl, another fun-to-knit pattern from Kirsten Kapur at Through the Loops.
I used Wooly Wonka Fibers Ceridwen Sock. The gray is a subtle multicolor, "Tinder", and the red is "Little Miss Firecracker". Definitely colors outside my usual palette choices, but I like them together in this pattern a lot! I am fairly sure I've got enough yarn left over to knit a pair of 2-color socks as well - I'll weigh my skeins tonight to be sure of that.
The pattern is not hard to work at all if you have some chart-reading experience. It's got enough interesting things happening that you don't get bored with it and on size 7 needles it moves along pretty quickly! I blocked mine fairly briskly to open up the lace patterning on it and I quite like how it looks. I'll be popping this one into a donation box.
And with that... I actually have no personal projects on the needles right now! I'm hankering to cast on some handspun mittens next though.
A blog filled with my random musings about sewing, knitting, stitching, reading, and anything else filling my world with wonders.
