February 2023

This month I finished the scrappy pair cabled socks I had started a couple of months ago.

Out of some Quince & Co. Lark in the River colourway, I knit a Huxley by Jared Flood, I'm thinking, since I haven't been having much luck with sweater knitting, perhaps a vest is what I'm in the market for?
This vest is adorable and I am really happy with how it turned out. Will I wear it? I am not sure. I've never worn a vest before in my life and maybe I need to wear it around the house to get used to it before venturing into the wild with it.

A pair of socks I started last month got completed and blocked. The colour pooling is fun in these socks and I am a sucker for purple, overall it was just fun to knit these.

Honestly, I can't help but take advantage of a sale when I see one. Sigh. This time it was Andrea Mowry again with her adorable pattern photoshoots and personality. I know that I said it was time to break up, but maybe just maybe, I can win this. I took advantage of a coupon code to purchase Pink Fizz and by golly I want to make this work, ok, so here is my plan. I am knitting with 100% alpaca, super super soft, super light, super drapey and my hope it that the sweater is not constricting in any way, not itchy in any way AND, I am knitting this in a semi-neutral colour, so all signs point to a successful sweater.

That's it - Happy crafting! Nic ♥
