knitting update

Thrummed MoebiusThis is my latest finished project, and I made it in less than a day! It’s a Thrummed Moebius, from a kit I purchased at a buy/sell/trade site that is no longer online. I was inspired to take it out because I was itching for a project to do on big needles, but I had no idea how quickly it would go.

Of course, Moon’s master class helped. I had four hours to just sit, listen and knit.

Here’s me wearing it this morning, and a back view.

I’d have had no trouble selling it right off my back.

Shibori pillowThis project was a bit more experimental, and I wasn’t quite as thrilled with the results. But at least we have a pillow that is sturdy enough to stand up to the abuse typical for items in our home. I wanted to try shibori felting, and this was a quick, inexpensive ($12) way to do it. If I do this technique again, I’ll make sure the buttons aren’t so small they can sneak out between stitches. And I’ll check the progress more often to prevent over-shrinkage.

Right now, I have a scarf in progress, a pair of yoga pants on hold, and my ever-present blanket squares. Some people have dozens of partly-finished projects, so I don’t feel too bad about looking around for more stuff to start. Socks for sure, a sweater for maybe.
