In this post, I’m participating in three WIP Wednesdays; Freshly Pieced<\/a>, Tami’s Amis<\/a> and Musings from the Fishbowl<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

I’m really loving this whole WIP Wednesday thing. It’s been a month now that I’ve been participating in these three link ups and it’s been a fun and motivating way to keep up with my ideas. <\/p>\n

Work in Progress Wednesday is supposed to be just that, works in progress! However, since this is generally the only day I post about my projects, I’m posting my finished objects too! You’ll live, right? Great!<\/p>\n

My No Tears Socks<\/a> (pattern on Posh Yarn<\/a>) are finally finished!!! Just in time too! Wee One #2’s Godparents will be here this weekend. I think he’ll really like the cable and that it’s not too fussy for a man’s sock but it’s not so boring either because he appreciates the work that goes into a nice sock. \ud83d\ude42 We’re all really excited to see them and I’m excited to show you what we’ve cooking and baking for their visit. Fun!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Since I just finished his sock last night, I’ve only just cast on today for my new sock, Jules. Apologies to non-Ravelry readers, but there’s no outside link to this pattern. You’ll see it coming together I promise. For now, it’s only 6 rows in. I’m knitting it up in Knit Picks’ Palette<\/a> in Navy. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My new Knit Picks order came in at the end of last week and I’m so excited to dive into it. Wanna see? Of course you do!!<\/p>\n

I piled it onto the kid’s easel to show it off! This pile (3 balls of Knit Picks Palette in Navy for the socks I just mentioned are not pictured) will be knitted into; 3 pairs of socks, 1 hat, 12 facecloths, and a pair of mittens! I can hardly wait to get them all knitted up.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There is one other work in progress I don’t have good photos of! Hopefully by July, it’ll look like this<\/a>! My sister made one for our parents and I looooove it. I’m making it as a wedding turned happy first anniversary gift! Mine is coming together in a green apple colour. Its made in triangles, you need 49 squares to make a decent blanket, and there are four triangles per square (duh) – so yes that’s 196 triangles<\/b>! Whaaaaat?! My first triangle took a whole day (it’s pathetic I know, but I’ve got three wee ones running around and a kitchen calling my name lol), and my first triangle had a glaring error in it. Awful, glaring, beacon of light style error. I trucked on with the next triangle and made the same error – always towards the end where the bigger leaves are. Originally, I thought of just making smaller triangles, up to the point where I wasn’t messing up, but then my dear friend Talea (who I can’t link to because she is ‘between blogs’ right now) pointed out that the smaller triangles wont make a perfect square (sigh) and I’d need approximately eleventy million more triangles to complete the blanket (double sigh). <\/p>\n

Sooooo, after I’ve finished a few months of birthday knitting, I’m going to attack this blanket head on and find the error in the pattern (maybe I wrote it down wrong??). If I want it finished for the middle of July (let’s set a July 15 deadline), and it takes me a day per triangle, that’s July 15 minus 196 days is 19 days ago. Hmm. Hahaha, so maybe I’ll make a smaller blanket! I will do some math and try to bend the time-space continuum and get back to you next Wednesday!<\/p>\n

I know they’ll love it though, and my husband spent a lot of time with this cousin growing up and I’m especially fond of her parents so we do spend a lot of time together. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I’m still waiting on the skully fabric to make curtains for Wee One #1, and since his room is currently green and white with a weird brown border I have no doubt those curtains are going to set off a desire to paint the room. We’ve been here for 4 and a half months and while everything has a place and our routines are pretty firm in this new life, other things (like decor) are still coming together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
