Some Recent Knits
Steve's sexy foot modeling his new Trekking sock--part of a completed pair.
The baby blanket I've blogged about, but never shown you. It's made with Mission Falls 1824 Wool. The blanket has a creamy stockinette center wrapped in a crispy King Charles Brocade (from Barbara Walker's first book) and covered in a contrasting garter stitch mitered border. Blankie perfection. Perfect for the crib, the carriage, or a cozy lap warmer. Now for the fun part--writing the pattern.
Currently on the needles:
1. A simple baby sweater a la Debbie Bliss--cardi with contrast color ribbing. Knitting it in Cotton Classic, two shade of boyish blue.
2. A scarf in the Four Play I bought at SAFF. I love this yarn.
3. A pair of socks (of course) in a pink/green Trekking colorway.
On Deck: an interesting (I hope) rendition of the braided scarf on the cover of the latest Vogue Knitting.

Gorgeous! I am in love with the baby blanket.

Lookin' good there! And I love that braided scarf, but the idea of doing all those tubes is kinda daunting to me. I can knit to 600+ sts at the bottom of a lace shawl and knit on an edging, but the idea of that much sorta-icord gives me the willies. :)
