FO catch-up
Another KNECKLACE this time using the last little bit of a slubby core wrapped silk in blues & olives, using the black silver tape yarn to finish up the last three rows.
One sock of a pair in Regia Bamboo - these are ones I designed myself, and have taken MUCH longer than usual since I've knitted the cuff about 3 times [sample, too tight a gauge, just right], the heel twice [too short a cuff, just right] & the toe three times [foot too short, foot still too short, just right. It's mate is cast on & ready to take with me to my optometrist appointment tomorrow. Hopefully I'll remember to twist the cables the reverse way so the socks will have a subtle left / right difference. The cable is based on the rib & braid cable from p.201 on Barbara Walker’s 2nd Treasury.
One pair of red harem pants for Patrick so he would be excited about coming to a Hafla with me. This took about 45 minutes to make, including some breaks to separate Ian & Patrick, and have Patrick try them on to size the waist elastic & cuff / leg length. Patrick loves the pants, and now wants to do a duet with me at a future Hafla; I'm not that interested in a solo performance, and I've no idea how he'd react on stage....
