Wednesday's WIPs

Mid June? Slow down Mr. 2013. Your passing by too fast for my taste. There is not enough time to play, knit, spin, sleep, and work a day shift! A couple of days ago, as I was waiting for the elevator at the office, someone said "Thanks God Monday is over". To which I promptly replied "I'm NOT done. I have to work my nightly shift". The facial expression of the unknown co worker was priceless. Apparently, in corporate environment, a "lady" should never refer to housework as her "nightly shift". Who knew? ;-)

Enough rambling - let's talk fiber!

I am making a good dent on my Gemini. This pattern had been on my queue too long. It was about time to cast on. A summer project knitted in the summer sounds like a good idea.


Two squares done and a third in progress. I can't wait to see the firsts Bertie's blankets done.


The yarns: cotton & linen blend for the top and superwash wool & nylon blend for the squares.


I'm looping in with Tami's Amis WIP Wednesdays!!

(Edited to be "calendar correct". No worries, is still June NOT July)

      Thank you! Is a relatively easy pattern; just keep an eye on the lacy section. You will be able to knit with your eyes closed once you reach the 6 in. mark.

    Okay, you gave me a fright saying it was mid-July ... I thought holy cow where did I lose all those weeks :) The yarns for those variegated squares are gorgeous - very Noro-like (but softer)!

      Your loss is my gain!! Thanks God someone is paying attention :-)

      The yarn is Patons Koy Socks- very nice fiber content & price.
