Happy Wednesday! Time to show off my works in progress!
My biggest WIP for the week…
Have you noticed that my blog looks a little bit different? Talk about a HUGE work-in-progress! I’ve changed my blog’s theme, and I’m gradually overhauling the blog, and combining it with my website. I’m excited about the changes… and I hope you like the look!
Cashmere socks
Last week, I had just turned the heel on my first cashmere sock… and I’m happy to report that I’ve finished the first sock, and am past the gusset on the second!
Aren’t they such fun colors? I’m using a really simple pattern (k1,p1 rib for the cuff, stockinette for the rest) so that it doesn’t interfere with the colors.
Kool Aid dyeing project
I’ve been wanting to make a shawl with some long-color-repeat yarn that I dyed myself… and I took the first step the other day. I took 500 yards of my white yarn and set the Kool Aid on it:
What do you think? I’m so excited about it! Now to pick a shawl pattern…
Crocheted Chick
I’m also busily crocheting chicks for a new pattern I’m about to release (inspired by the crochet-a-long). I’m working on a sample in blue:
I’ll definitely have this cutie to show you by Friday!
That’s what I’ve been up to this week! Have you been up to anything exciting? I hope you have an awesome Wednesday, and get some great knitting/crocheting done this week!

Those socks are stunning and the kool aid fibre to die for
LOVE the color combo on your cashmere socks. You’ll really enjoy them once they are finished. My cashmere socks are always my favorite.
mmmmmmmmm cashmere socks. So nice. Can’t wait to see what you choose for the yarn you dyed! there’s a local dyer where I am who does a lot of long repeat or gradient yarns and they always knit up sooo nicely :)
Holy cow, that Kool Aid yarn is going to knit up spectacularly! I can’t wait to see how it looks. And way to go on the speedy cashmere socks — they’re so close to being foot-ready!
Love the colors on the Kool Aide yarn.!
Those socks are great! I like how the pink lines up on the heel!
