I've been enjoying my last week before work starts (tomorrow, sigh) by starting a bunch of new projects. I finished the Lady Detective Hat but it's a tad too small and I look like I'm wearing a lampshade, so no photos.
I also started a sock. I haven't knit a sock since the Fall and I missed having one on the needles.
This one uses Lorna's Laces Shepard Sock in Rainbow. They're for my friend Steve who recently turned 40. He asked for Bright Socks, so bright socks he gets.
And, for me, I started the Pimlico Shrug from Knit 2 Together. I'm using Art Fibers Sherlock and I think it will be really pretty. It took a bit to understand the eyelet pattern, but now I have the hang of it, so it's just a matter of doing 34 inches of a rectangle.
In case you're wondering, I haven't forgot about Lizard Ridge, I just haven't had the time to find the right yarn. I was going to today, but I got a wee bit busy...I'm saving that for tomorrow's post.
No joke about the bright socks! I love the colors.

I looooove the feel of Sherlock, but I can't seem to find the right thing to make with it. So I'm curious to see how the shrug will work out!

Honestly, it's only now that I get to see your finished works in your gallery, and I must say that you're a very talented woman. Great gift you have.

Those socks are need sunglasses bright! Love the colors!! You should gift them with a pair of shades! The yarn for the shrug is very pretty. I like the subtle color variation.

I love that shrug...actually I love the whole book. I haven't heard that much about it from anyone, but I think it is terrific.

I popped here to thank for skull pattern. I used it when I made mittens.
I'm from Finland, so my homepages are written in Finnish, but there's also this mitten photo.

How are you coming on your Pimlico Shrug? I just finished mine out of Malabrigo and LOVE IT! Just in time for the last cold snap of the year.
