Finishing Friday

Since the bear and other toy haven’t progressed at all since last seen they don’t rate a picture. I promise, this weekend I’ll stuff, sew, and make faces. On them and myself!

Does it count if progress was made then tinking had to happen? I’m almost to the point of the dreaded goof. Then the hat will become.

This hat shows promise. Two inches then time to decrease crown.

This latecomer hat is nearing end of brim.

Scrappy slipper socks farther along than before mad frogging. Ankles and cuff are all that’s left. Yay!

Starry Night is nearly finished. Tomorrow or Sunday. It’s inspiring my own inner artist to come out.

My Van Gogh sketch wants to be transferred to canvas then painted or pasteled. Scary. I’ve never done a painting outside of the occasional paint-by-number. Wish me luck!

Thus Thursday

Spent the day bingeing and knitting.
I’m rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. 

Just finished Justine. Meh.

Kim Convenience was different.

Oh, I rewatched Outlander to be ready when the new season begins.

Sock one of four is nearly ready to find a foot.

My circular needle socks suddenly seemed inside out so I frogged and started over. I’ll get it yet. This time I nearly reached the heel part. That’s progress!

How was yours?

Frogging Friday

This is usually called Finished Friday. But since I don’t have anything quite finished and a couple things that were I frogged, I can only show you the new works in progress from the frogs.

I know I showed you yesterday, but I finished the heel today and got started on the second instep I’m liking how the sock looks and even if not, they are for me, so pleasing me is all that counts, right?

I have the needle knitted socks on the circular needles that I frogged. I think that was my third frogging of same. But each time, I learn what I wanted to improve on. I also frog another toe of a smaller knitted toe instead of provisional cast-on like I did with the larger yarn destined to be more like slipper socks. I did a different kind of cast-on on a smaller set of circulars. By last night, I figured out how to do what I was trying, but I need more practice, so enter the next frog.
