February 2014

February wrap up looks like this:

I participated in Wild Olive's Winter Seasonal Stich-A-Long which was embroidering adorable characters onto hexagons which when all sewed up together made a delightful table mat.

I soaked and blocked my completed Anastasia Socks by MintyFresh. I like how the diagonal lines continue from the back of the sock to the front in continuity.

After casting off socks, I immediately cast on a new pair. This month I cast on Socks on a Plane by Laura Linneman in yarn from Candy Skein called Sugar Snap Pea.

Instead of feeling left out, I opted into a knit-a-long that was very popular and had an interesting twist. This knit-a-long was called Follow Your Arrow Mystery by Ysolda Teague and was a a choose your own adventure style, which meant every participant had ended up with a completed different shawl, with the clues being released every week and the option to chose to knit A or B. It was really fun to take part in.

Another quick project I knit this month is the 
Upper East Side by Joji Locatelli and it might be my favourite toque ever. The fit is absolutely fantastic. I used a colourway from The Wacky Windmill called Peacock Feathers.

In addition I cast on a new shawl this month called 
Great Divide Shawl by Michele Zatarian. I chose to use three skeins from The Wacky Windmill in the colourways Teacup Elephant, Cosmic, and Pumpkin Spice.

That's it - Happy crafting! Nic ♥
