Knitted leg warmers
For these, I'm using Hobbii's Black Friday sock yarn in dark brown with their sock yarn in Swinging Trapeze. While my favorite color combination is black and pink (you can take the person out of 2005...), I adore browns and blues together. This started as socks that didn't fit, so I've gone down the leg warmer route instead. I have finished one, I just need to weave in the ends, and then I'll start on the other.
Woodland mittens
I talked about this last time. We're just going to move quickly past.
Sewing
I'm making an English Paper Pieced needle book. It's happening very slowly, I'm not working on it consistently, but it is kinda adorable. I'm using one inch squares with fabric in lilac and purple shades.
Spindle spinning Cheviot
I am aware that Cheviot isn't pronounced that way, but the near sibilance makes me happy. I have plied the first two spindles together, I've started on the next pair of turtles. I couldn't wait to work with it so...
Crochet Cheviot
That doesn't rhyme or anything either, but it looks like it should. Anyway, I'm crocheting the spindle spun Cheviot into a cape/shawl. The colors are so beautiful, and there will be pictures soon. I just want to keep this to myself for now. With a very simple Tunisian crochet collar it's very warm and cosy.
Pastel blanket
While organising, I found I had actually finished a blanket many years ago that I didn't take out of the project bag. I had several little balls of yarn left over from it, as well as a whole set of untouched yarn too. Naturally with the chilly weather now here (thankfully) I wanted to make a blanket, and this was perfect! I have a pattern... that I mostly ignored... and I have it already in a project bag. I'm following the same color order as the Attic24 Cupcake blanket but I'm not using the same stitch pattern. I want this to be a very easy, mindless, low spoon project, so I'm just doing straight trebles across, two rows of each color. It's working out great so far. It's also huge. It is almost six feet wide and close to 300 stitches per row. This is going to take a while. It will also be super cosy. I am also losing yarn chicken with the leftovers so often.
I'm pretty sure that's everything. It feels like a lot and not a lot. Sometimes that's how things go. There can be a huge amount of progress on just one project, you can spend days or weeks on one thing, but it looks like no progress at all.
