2 finishes, wips, acquisitions

 I finished my So Faded jumper by Andrea Mowry

I started this on 1 January and finished on 28 February.  It was an easy knit and I'm very happy with how it turned out.  For more info, refer to my Ravelry project page.

I also finished my Egidia cowl. Design by Vintage Purls.

I love the Fair Isle work on this, and the colours.

On to my WIPs.

I started the Pirta cardigan, from the Strands of Joy book.  The garter stitch is the collar.  I've made a start on the yoke , including the colour work and I've almost finished my first row of nupps (bobbles).

Another new start is the Incandescent Hat, also from the Strands of Joy.  The bright green is the provisional cast on.

More progress on the Modular Inlay Wrap.  both long sides are added, and 2 bright pink triangles added to one side.

More progress on the Habitation Throw.  I'm now at the half way mark and ready to start decreasing.  The arrow shows where I was last post.

No progress on the vanilla socks this fortnight

Progress on the Astrid socks.  Ready to start the colourwork at the top of leg.

I've had some thoughts on how to organise my knitting.  Ive been using a roulette wheel app to decide what to knit each day.  In the evenings I concentrate on a garment and one other project.  I've decided to  be a bit more specific on what to knit on certain days.

So these will be;

Sunday: Show some Love

Monday: Just finish it

Wednesday: Sock it to me

Friday:  Cast on all the things.

So Sunday will be something that hasn't had a lot of attention on the previous week.

Monday will be something that I am close to finishing

Wednesday, spin the wheel for socks only

Friday, if there's something I want to cast on, then cast it on.  However no more than 9 projects on my needles.  Otherwise a normal spin day.

I had some acquisitions.  Loopine have a dyer of the month.  I really want to try dyers I haven't tried before, plus I want to support local industry.  So this month was a new to me dyer, Dyestock.  Also I needed some needles and cables for the Incandescent hat.

And because over $100 is free shipping, I threw in a mini skein from Tseba yarns.

Yesterday was the start of Skeinz epic sale that they have every March.  I bought 50 balls for 5 different garments.  Saved  $140.  Waiting excitedly for the parcel to arrive.
