With all the changes over at Ravelry and my own inability to use the classic version without getting a migraine quickly, I'm deciding to update projects here again. I had gotten out of the habit with the ease of Ravelry, but that's no longer an easy place to do stuff. So, here we are!
I plan to be doing these on a semi-regularly basis going forwards, every to every other week, depending on frequently I get to doing some projects.
First up this month is the first of the Hermione's Everyday Socks (link is to the Dreams in Fiber website for this free pattern). I am using Knit Picks Stroll in Pucker, a hot pink color. I adapted the pattern using Cat Bordhi's Sweet Tomato Heel and making them toe-up, instead of cuff down as directed in the pattern. I adapted the Sweet Tomato Heel by making it over only half the stitches, it works in this instance, but you should experiment in your own sock knitting if adjusting patterns. I didn't use a lifeline, but it would have been a good idea.
Here's a picture of one of the socks. I'm still in knitting the leg of the other sock. I need to count how many pattern repeats I did in this one to make the current one match before working the ribbing.
I also made a Beekeeper's Quilt (link is to the Tiny Owl Knits blog post about the pattern, there's a link to buy the pattern through Ravelry at the bottom of the page) motif known as a hexipuff, but since it's not stuffed, also known as a hexi-flat. Lots of knitters all over the world make these, some stuff them, and then sew them together to make coverlets of varying sizes.
That's it so far this month. I am doing well living through the pandemic mostly. It's a good time to listen to podcasts and learn more about how my brain works.
I hope y'all have a good crafting month.
Later,
Jen
