Shores and More Knitting

I worked on Shores a little bit over the weekend...

I also worked on my BFF sock. I'm down to the heel flap now!

This sock isn't actually this bright!

Unfortunately I had to rip out my other socks. I messed up on the increase - I'll start over soon (I need to brush up on some basics - it's been awhile).

I also decided to start a scarf. I have always loved this scarf made by Brooklyn Tweed. I went through my stash and found the perfect yarn (yarn I was using for a couple of sweaters that I know I'll never finish).

Noro Scarf
Noro Silk Garden #86 and Cascade Lana D'oro Tweed #7619

Hopefully, I can get it finished and the sock finished soon! Write later!

  5. Great progress on Shores. I've knit 3 of the Noro scarf. As someone who isn't fond of the yarn, I really do like how it knits up. The color changes are stunning.

  6. Nice stitching and knitting. You're a multi-talented girl :-)
    Makes me want to pull out my needles and yarn and give it another go. I tried to learn knitting a few years ago but haven't picked it up since then. Socks would be fun to learn how to knit. It took me forever to learn increses in crochet? Maybe there is hope :-)

  15. Nicole, Shores is moving along. I love the yarn for the scarf. I just started my first pair of socks but I'm thinking the ribbing is not right so I'll probably be ripping it out.

  17. Love your shores, love your socks, and love your scarf. I tried 2 socks at a time once...too much frustration. But I can sure knit up socks in a hurry on one long needle...magic loop. I love that technique. I've knit quite a few scarves using Jared's pattern as well. Have a great week!!

  19. I love my noro Jared Flood scarf - I wear it all the time - yours is very pretty. Who doesn't love some mindless knitting??? the sock pattern is pretty - I always have knitting in my hands - love to stitch but knitting is my daily zen - your Shores is really coming along. Enjoy your projects! melody
