Vanilla sock and mitts finishes and WIP parade, little bit of haul

 I finished my vanilla socks knit with Happy Feet yarn from Knitworld.

These were knit toe up, using Turkish cast on and with Afterthought heels.  The toes and heels are in contrasting green with two rows of the contrast at the top of the cuff.

I also finished my Rainbow Connection Fingerless mitts, by The Crazy Sock Lady. 

These were super easy to knit and made from leftover yarn from my Slipstravaganza.

I have two new cast ons, this is a yarn cozy.  The idea is you can put yarn in these and it won't slide all over the place if you pull yarn from the centre.  

I'm making this out of leftover Regia self striping sock yarn.

The other cast on is another vanilla sock using some variegated yarn from Purrl Kitten with contrast heels and toes using a pink from the advent calendar.

These are TAAT (see below) toe up using Turkish cast on and will have Fish Lips Kiss Heel

I've made more progress on the Astrid Socks by Tracey Millar of the Grocery Girls.

These are the first socks I've knitted Two At  A time (TAAT) and I think this may be the way I do my socks from now on.  I've bought more 2.25mm needles with extra long cables (100cm) for other socks.  I've put in Fish Lips Kiss (FLK) heel on both socks.  I've changed the pale green that I used for the toes with a darker green so there is better contrast.

There is a bit more progress on the Habitation Throw.

You can just see the stitch marker which is where I was last time I posted.

Just a little bit done on Modular Inlay Wrap

I've added the two grey triangles on the end and knitted a couple of rows on one of the long sides.

I've made quite a bit of progress on So Faded jumper.

I've finished the body and started the sleeves.  I am doing the sleeves TAAT.  I found the video Tutorial: Knitting Sleeves Two at a Time using Magic Loop by 111Windmills to be very helpful.

Just a little bit of haul.  One of my LYS has a dyer of the month section on their webiste.  January was Miro Yarns and I bought some Mizzle sock yarn from them.  It is Zwartables, BFL,Corriedale and Nylon.  I also bought a contrasting mini
