...6.10...W.I.P. Wednesday...

...I got to the last 4 stitches and ran out of yarn...so I had to borrow those from the other sock...haha..
...so I finished the first bamboozled sock remake...it fits so much better and has a little bit of a cuff...
...and I cast on mid-sock for the second one...and I'll measure more carefully when I get to the end to make sure that I don't run out of yarn as I'm casting off again...
...and I'm about halfway through the June Porch Pillow...

...what's in your workbasket?...

...3.18...W.I.P. Wednesday...

...I finished the March Lucky You Pillow...Just In Time...for St. Patrick's Day...
...as soon as I finished the pillow cover for March...I cast on for some navy socks...I just need some navy socks...and I wanted to knit something instead of crocheting all the time...haha...
...I've started in the middle of the sock again...because I bought this navy cotton yarn when our local Creative Home store went out of business...so I've got exactly two skeins...and no way to get any more...so I'll knit down to the toe and maybe knit the toe a different colour so I'll have more for the top...and then I'll pick up the provisional cast on stitches and knit up to the end of the yarn with k2 p2 ribbing...maybe adding a stripe or two of a different colour at the top as well...

...basically...it's my favorite sock pattern split in two...down from the ankle to the toe and then up from the ankle to the top...
...now...on to the Easter sweater...it's basically finished...I've got some threads to weave in...and the way things are going here there may not be an Easter service to wear it to...

...Introducing...The Porch Pillow Project...

...yep...a brand new blog...it's linked in the sidebar if you want to go take a look...

...remember back in October...when I made the Hello Pumpkin pillow...

...and how I said that I'd kinda like to have a pillow like that for each season...and how The Airman's Wife suggested that I should combine two pillows into one - that way I'd only have to store 5 pillows at a time instead of 11...I thought that was genius...

...anywhoo...I thought I'd make a different themed pillow for each month...and the first one is "Let It Snow"...
...and share them and progress on the pillows...but I didn't want Affectioknit to just become all about the pillows...as my fam is probably just not that interested...I'll still post some W.I.P. photos of pillows though I'm sure...haha...
...there's a ravelry group...just click the link above if you want to join that...and there's a new link in the sidebar to the project blog if you want to follow the progress...

~Have a lovely day!
