Hello again! Here we are partway through March, so definitely time for a February update. I got a little behind in things after catching cold after cold most of the month of February, but I'm caught up again somewhat. I hope everyone else has been staying healthy!
First off, my Starry Night full coverage blackwork SAL progress. This is week 8:
And the whole project so far:
Starry Night SAL by Urban Stitches
stitched 1 or 2 over 2 as charted with DMC threads
With being sick, I didn't get much stitching accomplished otherwise, but did manage to finish these 2 smalls:
Birdhouse Cards by Durene Jones
stitched as charted 2 over 2 on 28ct scrap evenweave
from WOXS, not sure which issue, printed in 2016 from zinio
I didn't progess on Witch's Gate, but I did get some knitting done:
Summer socks by Laines du Nord
Very Merry KAL by Claire Slade
knit with Fiberstash and on part 3 now
Sockhead Hat by Kelly McClure
knit with Noro Sonata Shima col. Chaigasaki
Pretty straightforward knitting for the 2 projects I finished. I usually knit those while watching the PWHL hockey games so I can pay attention to what's going on. The colourwork still slows me down in the cowl, but it's growing slowly. It's time to cast on another pair of socks now that these are complete. And I have a shawl I'd like to knit with Noro Sonata as well. It has silk, so it's not as scratchy as wool.
I hope you've all been having good weeks of stitching!
Happy Stitching,

Knitting while watching PWHL hockey? That’s some serious multitasking—I’d probably drop half my stitches every time a big play happened! Your projects sound amazing, and I totally get the slow progress with colorwork. It’s so satisfying but definitely a patience-tester.
ReplyDeleteThat Noro Sonata shawl sounds like it’s going to be gorgeous! Silk in the blend must make it feel so nice to work with. Can’t wait to hear how it knits up! Hope you have a great week of stitching too!
Thank you!
DeleteGlad to hear from you again and that you feel better! I especially love those socks, the colours are great.
ReplyDeleteThank you! They are getting worn a lot. :)
