We've been battling with our kiddos about bedtime and other things. I'm not sure why things need to be so tough sometimes, but kids are all about stretching your abilities to manage daily life.
Ok, no more whining :).
There is neat knit along that started this week. Check out Socks of Narnia. I'm not a big sock knitter, but the patterns look interesting. I entranced by the two color work socks. Voyage is the first and you might be able to get that pattern for free if you're quick. I remember seeing Voyage as a test knit pattern on the forum I regularly use. If you get one or sock or a pair completed from each of the four patterns by November 30, 2017, you'll be entered in a drawing.
Other mystery patterns are being posted, yet I'm finding that I've signed up for too many that all start sometime between September and the end of October. It's a good problem to have.
On October 18, the Spirit of Life Wrap crochet along will start. This looks like a beautiful pattern and that it will be a lot of fun to make. It's entirely free if you use the blog to view the pattern. There are some kits that look nice, but my stash will have to suffice :). It looked like four full skeins of fingering weight yarn are necessary. Maybe I could fudge the use of my stash a bit with other colors.
I've made some progress on my current test knit. It's definitely a marathon project. A fair isle sweater in a fine gauge...what was I thinking...
It's been a lot of fun so far and I'm excited to see it shape up. I have about 6.5 inches on the back. I'm using an itchy wool that still contains lanolin that you can smell. I hope you like the look. I love the colors.
Here is a pick from spending time with my boys tonight. We could get along for an entire hour together :).
Have a great week and happy crafting.
