WIP Wednesday: November 12, 2014

I haven’t posted progress in a couple of weeks as I’ve been visiting with friends and family.  I’ve got a lot in progress at the moment!

MAPLE LEAF the Eighth

I finished knitting MAPLE LEAF the Eighth a week ago.  I still have to weave in the ends and block it.  I probably will do MAPLE LEAF the Eighth and MAPLE LEAF the Ninth at the same time, since I can easily block two MAPLE LEAF shawls on my dining room table at once.

Wearing of the Green Socks

I am one stripe away from starting the ribbing for the top of these socks.  I haven’t knit on these at all in a week and a half because working with such small needles was causing my wrists to ache.

MAPLE LEAF the Ninth

As soon as I finished MAPLE LEAF the Eighth, I started MAPLE LEAF the Ninth.  I haven’t gotten too far with it yet.

Scrubbies

Gazebogal of Ravenclaw Tower has been making a pile of scrubbies.  I made one last month for Quidditch Round 3 (on the top in the picture below), since I needed a quick project and we had to make something another student had made in Round 2.  I really like the scrubby so decided to make a bunch.  It was a perfect thing to knit while visiting with family over the last few days because I have the pattern memorized, it’s an extremely portable project, and they are quite fast to knit.  They are knit flat and sewed into shape.  I am going to knit a few more and then sew them all.

Hufflepuff Houndstooth Scarf

The prompt for Quidditch Round 4 provides several options, one of which is to craft a set of items.  I decided to weave a set of 5 houndstooth scarves, one in each of the Hogwarts House colors and the fifth in House Unity Purple.  I’m three-quarters done with the first of those scarves, in Hufflepuff yellow and black.

  1. I love how the houndstooth scarf is turning out so far! I also feel the need to look up the scrubbie pattern to figure out the seaming. I can’t picture it just by looking at the finished object.

    • First you seam the short ends together, then you seam the long ends and pull them as tight as you can before securing the ends. I was quite surprised when I read the pattern because I wouldn’t have guessed that they were knit flat!
