On the Needles Friday - October 17, 2014

Still rolling on with my Rolling Rock.  Almost done with the body of the sweater, just another inch of the ribbing to go.  I think I am going to do the neck bands before I knit the sleeves that way there will be less weight to move around.  This is a picture of the back of the sweater.

 

 

About half done with the foot of my Socks on a Plane socks.  I really like the striping of the Opal yarn and the cable along the side of the foot keeps it interesting.

 

 

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

This post should actually be called On and Off the Needles Friday.

 

I managed to complete both the pair of socks I had been working on last week.  First completed were my Circle Socks, love the fit of these and can hardly wait to put them to good use.

 

 

Second pair of completed socks are the Hermoine's Everyday Socks.  This completion is my new record.  I can usually knit a pair in 2 weeks with my schedule but this pair was completed in 7 days.  This pair is going to my sister for her birthday.

 

 

Still making slow progress is the Rolling Rock sweater.  I am about 5 inches from starting the ribbing then the body of the sweater will be done.

 

 

This morning I started another pair of socks using Opal yarn, it's October needed to go German.

I have decided to use the pattern Socks on a Plane.  It's a nice simple pattern with a cable running up the outer side of the sock.  The best part is I'm using stash yarn, I found that I have had this yarn since 2011, time to put it to use.

No completions this week but I did manage to cast on another pair of socks.  So now on the needles I have Rolling Rock Sweater, Circle Socks and Hermione's Everyday Socks.

 

First up is my Rolling Rock sweater, I am now about half way through the body of the sweater.  This pattern is a Henley style sweater and once I was able to join the front and knit in the round I am making good progress.

 

 

Next is my Circle Socks.  I have only 1 1/2 repeats of the circle pattern to complete and this pair of socks will be done.

 

 

The second pair of socks I have just started is Hermione's Everyday socks I am knitting using Lorna Lace's Solemate.  I don't remember knitting with this yarn before but I am loving the feel of it.

 

 

A 'Box of Fun' managed to make it to my house this week.  In the box was 2 skeins of Solemate (Reno & Rockwell), Cascade 220 (Violet) for my 3rd Loopy Academy project, ChiaoGoo needles and my Camp Loopy Bonus Yarn (Summer Bloom).
