UFO roundup

The UFO Resurrection Challenge is a bit of a mixed blessing so far.

I've been working on my February UFO project, Pebbles (started the front neck decreases and I've started the armhole steeks). I think I can get the body done by the end of the month and start on the sleeves in March.


I've been working on my old Socka socks (January UFO project) and I've reached the ribbing on one (toe-up) and I'm about 20 rows away from the ribbing on the second sock.

I haven't been working on the Raku Suri Stole recently and I need to pick that up again before it becomes a UFO. It would be cheating to make it my March UFO project so I'll have to go diving in the yarn-room and see what's lingering in there. Something lighter to welcome Spring?


I have at least started on my stash additions from Madrona. This was a beautiful smidge (just over 2 ounces) of superwash merino and alpaca from the Artful Ewe. The Flame's winter hat is looking ratty and I think this will be just the ticket. Manly colours and a soft hand.

Madrona

I'm home, and recovering from too much fun visiting with friends. I had a wonderful time seeing everybody and came home with a wee bit of new stash (I was very good, not as good as Denise, but very good) and some new ideas.

I think these photos pretty much sum up the weekend. (No people shots, I think I was too distracted).

Good friends (Thanks Marti! Bob loves Mini Bobbi)


Beautiful things (One day, I will learn how to make these like Vanessa).


Fibre (Thanks Kerry!)
