On the Needles Friday

I finished my second pair of socks for the Pooling Sock Challenge on Wednesday.  This pair was knitted top down but I still prefer toe up only because I like the way the heels are done - no pick-up stitches.

 
My third pair for the challenge has given me a little issue because it would not pool on my samples.  So there will be only two completed for the challenge which really doesn't matter since I will be gone around the first and won't be able to post.
 
The yarn I was going to use for the challenge is Vesper by Knitterly Things.  This is the first time I am knitting with it and it feels wonderful.  The coloway is Sugar Plum and just knitting the basic toe up sock pattern.

 
My yarn came today for Camp Loopy.  For my first project for Camp I am knitting Scylla out of Woolen Mill St. Yarns in Zoe colorway.

 
On the Loom - I am working on a scarf from left over sock yarn that I will be gifting it to a friend of mine in Wisconsin.  The yarn is Knit Picks Stroll in Make Believe and Duchess Heather.

 
Take a minute and stop over at Patchwork Times and see what others have on their Needles.

On the Needles Friday

I finished my first pair of socks for the Pooling Sock Challenge this morning.  First pair is done with Knit Picks Stroll in Sorbet colorway.
 

No progress made on my second pair this week.  I want to get the heel turns done this weekend and  finish the gusset by next Friday then my plans are to start on my third pair.
 
 
My practice scarf is still on the loom.  I have about 37" inches woven and hope to finish this weekend.  Next I plan on doing kitchen towels.
