October 2016

October brought with it one pair of self-stripping stockinette socks, which is a Knit Picks yarn. I knit these toes up, two at a time, and did an after-thought heel to preserve the striping. I will need to try a different afterthought heel next time, as this one is a tad snug on my apparently ginormous baseball of a heel. Chalk it up to a lessons learned. They are definitely still wearable and might even have some give after some wear, plus they are undeniably cute. 

This month also brought with it a very well fought game of yarn chicken, that I ultimately lost :-(
I had to put in a special order from Quince & Co to finshed maybe 1/2 inch of ribbing around the collar. Sigh.. that's ok, that's the way it goes sometimes. 

In other news the sweater is almost completed and is seriously amazing. Just my style and fits perfectly. The sweater is Birkin by Amy Miller and I just know I will get a on of wear from it.

That's it - Happy crafting! Nic ♥
