WIP Roundup

My knitting needles have been clicking busily away this week. And no wonder! How did I go from three WIP's to six in just two weeks?


Let's see, there is the Spoked Cardigan, which is progressing at a reasonable pace. I have the right front, right sleeve and half the back knitted up. I am still enchanted with the colors, but not so much with all those darn yarn ends to weave in. I have had to resort to spit splicing (ewww!). I love hearing the grossed out reaction from the little guy whenever he sees me do this.


Next is a new cardigan that I am knitting as part of the fall KAL sponsored by my LYS. It is called Vodka Gimlet and is designed by Thea Colman. So happy to be knitting this as I am a big fan of her blog, BabyCocktails. She has a fun laid-back style. Nestled in the picture is a pin cushion made by my twelve year old niece. She actually embroidered it freehand without a template. Love it!

And lastly, here are two new hexipuffs to add to the basket. This is the perfect project to work on after coming home from a long twelve hour shift. Mindless and fun.

There is one other project that I had started and finished this week which will have to wait until Friday.

In the meantime, I am going to take a break from the needles, make some tea and go check out the lovely blogs participating in WIP Wednesday with TAMI'S AMIS.

    I have been restraining myself--I was NOT going to join the hexipuff mania--but that embroidered one has just sent me over to the dark side.....I've just gotta do it! Thanks for the inspiration! (I think!!!)

  10. That cardigan is gorgeous :) I don't think my boyfriend has ever seen me spit splice anything, which is probably a good thing! Love your new hexipuffs :)

  11. Hi!!! I love your blog and your taste in patterns! I think I have finally found someone more obsessed with things that are knitting related or hand crafted than me! I wonder how it is I haven't found my way to your blog before this???
    I love your Spoked Cardigan. My LYS is having birthday sale Saturday and I have been promising to buy only a skein of sock yarn because of my long queue of sweaters and extensive stash. I may have to relent if she puts her Noro on sale!!!
