WIP update and some past FOs

Hi Again.

First an update on my WIPs. The lace scarf isn't progressing very quickly. Other things seem to be grabbing my attention, so no update pictures for that.

Tubey has progressed some. I finished the first sleeve and decided to bind it off with an i-cord binding. I picked up the stitches from my crochet provisional cast on and have begun knitting the second sleeve.

I haven't worked on my Jaywalkers at all. I rewound the ball of multi-colored yarn, but don't think I'll use it for Jaywalkers again. I didn't like the pooling at a larger circumference so I guess I'll save it for another pair of socks.

I did start a new pair of socks though. It's the Snicket Socks from MagKnits September 2006 issue. I see them as a warm up for the bayerische socks I mentioned in my last post. I'm doing them in Lana Grossa Meilenweit Tweed fingering weight yarn. The base color is kind of near rust with green, yellow, and blue specks dispersed throughout. Here are some pictures of what I have so far.

That's about all that's going on in WIP-land. I'm considering not starting any socks for a while because I have joined my first KAL... Summer of Socks 2007. The actual KAL begins on the summer solstice (June 21) so I have a while to wait. There are contests for the greatest number of pairs of socks knit.. and a vacation photo contest. It's a bummer it doesn't begin earlier because I'm going on a trip to Venice in about a week and I could get some great gondola/sock pictures! I'm going to keep working on the Snicket socks, but I think that may be my last pair until the end of June.

I'll leave you with a few pictures of FOs from the past. Nothing too exciting so I won't go into detail on them. If you want more detail on anything specific, leave a comment and I'll write about it in my next post.
