I'm back to working on the Walk Along by AnkeStrick and I'm using Little Fish Stitches fingering. I was having problems where I was alternating skeins at the beginning of row which was at the back of the sweater. A huge thank you to MyBlueGirl and Sarahjhill for suggesting Helical knitting. This solves the problem of the messy looking change. I started a spinning project with olive green merino roving I bought at the Whidbey Island Weavers meet up in April 2019. Combining it with another merino I ordered from Paradise Fibers in Spokane, Washington in a dark brown called Bitter Chocolate. Making a 3 ply with two green and one brown single. Kelly's Projects Finished! I hemmed the Christmas Candy dishtowels and put them away! I also finished With Friends Pullover using the pattern Rachel by Josée Paquin . It still needs ends woven in and blocking. I'm really happy with how it turned out and I'm looking forward to wearing it. The Persian Tile Blanket is coming along, but I didn't work on it as much in the last two weeks. Instead I started a pair of socks for Robert. I'm using leftovers of Leading Men Fiber Arts Show Stopper, Independent Will colorway. I had 90 grams left after using it for argyle socks for my brother-in-law. Not sure I'll have enough but I'm planning to use toes and heels of a different yarn.
