WIP's

I've always been very good about only working on one project at a time, but something obviously got into me (we'll call it a Yarn Demon) and told me I must have 3 projects going at once, so ....

ONE


Jason Voorhees - Friday the 13th Socks




This yarn was custom dyed for me by Sam @ sKNITches. After loving the Elm Street socks so much, I asked her to create me a Friday the 13th inspired colorway, and I love what she came up with. The first sock is finished, and I can't wait to see both of them completed.






TWO

Palindrome for Kenan





My friend, Kenan, asked me to knit him a scarf, and I happily said yes. I never really knit for other people, other than family, but I've known Kenan since I was 5. So he gets what he wants :) The yarn is Berroco Comfort, which I've used before and really like.




THREE

Lace Ribbon Scarf



This pattern is from Knitty, but I found it on Ravelry. I love how it's coming along! Other than my brief screw-up at Knit Night last night, it's coming along nicely. I swear, every Wednesday night I get about 2 rows of whatever I'm working on done, totally screw up the 3rd row, and then spend the rest of Knit Night ripping back a row to fix it. Every time, and I never learn my lesson. The pattern calls for lace weight yarn, but I'm using some Lang Jawoll sock yarn I got at Knit Picky about 2 years ago.




And there you have it. I hope I can control myself and at least finish these 3 WIP's before starting another. I just purchased THIS book from Amazon.com, only for the Barn Raising Quilt pattern. It calls for leftover sock yarn (which I have a TON of, obviously). I'm excited about being able to finally use it all up. I guess I can make it as big as I want to, but for right now I think I have enough leftover colors to make about 20 or so squares. Plus, with all of my sock yarn being Superwash, I'll be able to machine wash it!
