An Update!?

Yes, an update. The Knit-A-Longs are finished and the results are great. The Leethal Mystery Shawl KAL was a wonderful experience with a lovely outcome. Meet Neon Nights!

I love this shawl. I put it in use right away since the cold has hit us. The shawl did turn out a little smaller than I hoped but it still sits on my shoulders nicely. And since it came out smaller, I have quite a bit of yarn left over. I'm going to use that in combination with some Cascade 220 to make another Leethal creation, the Betiko. I'm kind of hesitant about using a single plied yarn mixed with plied yarn but we'll see how it turns out.

I also finished the KISS Mock KAL.  These lovelies are a future X-Mas gift for a friend of mine. It's a poor picture so you can't see the ribbing design running down the front and back of the sock. While this was a fun KAL, I grew impatient with waiting for the clues to come out.
I usually have a sock going at all times because it's such a portable project so I started Brainless by Yarnissima. I'm using some nameless yarn that I over dyed red. I'm trying to customize it to my short, wide, high arched feet and I'm loving the outcome so far.

Enough of the KAL's and on to the other things I've finished. I have been messing around with Fightin' Words by Annie Watts for quite a while. I knew from the beginning that I was going to knit these but doddled on buying the yarn. Annie suggests to use KnitPicks Palette. Palette comes with a huge color selection and with the help of the Husband, I settled on green and purple based on the Hulk. They are perfect. When I work stranded designs I tend to knit rather tight so I went up a needle size. I will be producing another pair for a friend for X-Mas. One mitt will be in the same color's as these and the other will be in black and yellow. Batman vs. Joker!

That's it for now. Hopefully I won't procrastinate posting again for too long!
