Wollmeise Baktus

Here is the Wollmeise scarf. The pattern is called Baktus. The knitting is super easy. I love it. it shows off the yarn really well I think and I used the whole skein. I had knit a blankie square as a swatch so this yarn will make it into the scrap blanket too. I had maybe 6" left after I cast off. talk about cutting it close. The great thing about this pattern is that it will work with any yarn and any gauge. I am planning at least one more for the gift pile. With Bunkybobos hand dye.

The PhatFiber order is done. It is still not dry. I will send it off Monday. No spoilers until Jessie sees it. I can't wait to show it to you. for some reason blogger spell check is not working for me today. I hate that.

FO knee socks

The knee socks are done! In retrospect I would have added another 15 rounds of ribbing to the top. Other than that I love them. If it is not to hot I will wear them to EPWM. The color is really wonderful. The colorway is Brombeere. (Wollmeise 100% superwash merino) This yarn comes with a put up of 575 yards. I have a little bit left over. Do you like my pj's? they say Bite it Sideways. I love Happy Bunny.

After finishing the socks I cast on this shawl. I must be nuts. It is knit top down starting with 5 sts. The whole top part is stockinette so I have a while before I get to the charts. I have never knit from lace charts before. This should be fun. Right?

Knee Socks

Here's my newest pair of socks. The yarn is Wollmeise 100% superwash merino. I love them. The Wollmeise colorways are so pretty I really wanted to show it off. I am making up the pattern as I go and taking lots of notes so the 2 nd sock will be the same as the first. I hope to get these done before Estes so I can wear them to the wool market. It is still pretty cool in Colorado in June.

The yarn comes in a 575 yard skein so I should have enough yarn. If I run out I will be in trouble. This yarn sells out so fast I may never get more.

Went to S&B last night at Miss V's house and she had just gotten some of the new Socks That Rock colors. omg people! I must get KawKaw! It will have to wait though as I have decided not to buy any yarn until I go to the wool market in June. I am pretty sure I have enough in stash to last me till then.

One of my favorite cousins is getting married the weekend after Christmas this year and I would like to get something knit for her and her Hubby to be. I am thinking of another Pi blanket. I am in need of another mindless project and it just doesn't get anymore mindless than the Pi blanket. Maybe I will try to add a little lace detail this time. This means I will have to shop for some yarn but I have lots of time on this one too so I can wait.

Lookie what I got!

The Lovely MS.B of Bockstark Knits was kind enough to pick me up some Wollmeise sock yarn. It arrived today from Germany. Isn't it pretty? I had been trying to order some every since SP11 when Ms. B gifted me some. It sells out very fast so I never had any luck. Then Ms. B said she would pick it up for me. I love it! Thank you so much!
