Almost Off the Needles

Here we have the progress I have made this week.  And we can see that I am about to stop making progress.  The loose yarn on the top is all that is left: and I still had at least 20 more rows to go.

So off to the internet I went to see if Webs had more of the closeout yarn I had ordered.  And, no, they did not. 


So, after much thought and creative thinking, I decided on this gold heather.  It will be a band at the top of the sleeve and also will be the color of the patch pockets.  I am also thinking of doing a little duplicate stitching to help reinforce the idea that I planned to use the gold all the time.









This picture is a true representation of the colors.



















And I am almost done with these socks.  I like the upper part to be pretty short so it will only go about 2” more and then a very elastic bind off.



I also wound yarn for a new pair of socks so I should have them on needles this weekend.



















And in between knitting bouts I was moving fabric.  I have emptied one bookcase and have started on the second.  I also emptied several small bins of “quilting junque” so I could put them and the shelves that came with them into a yard sale for dog rescue.  All of this activity is so I can change everything around in the studio.  What fun we are going to have !?!     Gari
