Before I tackle all that blue stuff I want to finish, I have a couple of other things on the needles.
This is a Peaks Island Hood, which I started on my recent holiday trip to visit relatives in Illinois. Seed stitch was the perfect thing to work on when hanging out with the fam, because it’s so simple. The beautiful Malabrigo Silky Merino in Velvet Grapes makes it look a bit more interesting.
This is a Honeycomb Vest, in the same shade of red I used to make Glasgow Lace. It’s my mom’s color, so the yarn was calling out to be something for her.
I had wanted to finish it for my mom’s birthday, but it looks like it will be finished for my birthday instead. That’s appropriate, eh? I suppose we should give our mothers gifts on our birthday, not the other way around.
LOVE those colors! I just saw that vest last week when I was search for something do to with 4 skeins of silky wool.
It looks beautiful – the colors are really nice.
both yarns are gorgeous! your knitting is perfect.
i think you are right. presents for our mothers on OUR birthdays makes total sense!!
Stunning WIPs! I love the colors of both of them.
You are such a prolific knitter! These both look like they will be wonderful when they are finished!
Wow, looks like the blue phase is over! Looking forward to all the knits in the red/purple/pink-ish family!
I love the idea of giving parents gifts for your birthday. I think I may have to think about this more.
I’ve never used Silky Merino. It’s gorgeous!
I have been so tempted to cast on for a Peak’s Island hood recently, but I already have WAY too many things on the needles. Yours is looking great!
ohhh love the vest – can’t wait to see it finished!
