YOP Week #44

I didn't get a lot done on projects this week but I did make some progress........the 2nd sock is coming along well and I hope to be done by next week.............
I forgot to weave in ends on my Happy Hooky so that is done and being blocked as I speak.......I did finish Block #1 of my Frida basket and I am started on Block #2...this needs some serious blocking!

I did the edging on another cloth but need to weave ends in...........
(excuse lousy pics but Miss Peeps kept darting in trying to snag the ends so I was in a hurry)
another cloth needs edging............

and I'm getting ready to cut out some Japanese Knot bags............
I'm also reading this Ann Budd book on sock knitting and wanting to try some new styles and/or techniques like a ribbed sock, toe up, 2 at a time, fish lip kiss heel and more.  These will go on my YOP 2016-17 list.  Have you started your list yet?  Any hints?
That's all for this week except I watched podcasts....Sticks and Twine and Stitching in Sweden...both favorites now.
Happy Trails!

  1. Still loving how that yarn is working up into a sock, Sam. And wow, Frida is very colorful. It almost makes my Mandala Madness look sedate. lol I really like how that bright pink and purple in the middle work with each other. Looking forward to seeing this blanket grow.

  3. Lots of fun projects you have going on. You have me hooked on podcasts. Sticks and Twine is a favorite as is The Expat, Legacy Knits, Grocery Girls and Periscoping Sisters. There's not enough time to watch them all! I keep finding new ones. :-). Have a great day my friend.
    Blessings,

  6. I'm thinking of joining YOP this year but haven't decided yet. That black yarn really sets off those bright colors; perfect choice. Ann Budd's book is the best. I'm so glad I picked that up years ago. What pattern are you using for the Japanese knot bags?

  7. I think you could do a You tube on socks. :)
