Grey Streak

I've been whittling down the wip's.  All this cardi needed was sleeves (and short ones at that!)  This was a really easy knit, even though the stockinette got a bit monotonous.  In my wardrobe, it's always the simplest and least-fussy knits that get the most wear...not necessarily the most intriguing to knit ones.

Lilas Cardigan by Hilary Smith Callis

size:  Medium

yarn:  Patons Classic Wool, Dark Grey Mix

4.25 skeins:  100g/223yds each

needles:  size 8

modifications:  I added 3 inches to the length.

And all my socks get a lot of wear, no matter how simple or fussy!  One of them has a mistake on the top of the instep that I didn't catch until I'd already kitchenered the toe.  Guess no one'll notice it in my shoe :)

Cloud Nine Socks by Debbie Orr

freebie found here

size:  women's med

yarn:  Patons Kroy Socks, Gentry Grey

2 skeins:  50g/188yds each

needles:  size 2.75mm

modifications:  I knit the foot with the 2.75 needles instead of switching to larger ones like the pattern calls for...I'm glad because the sock would've been too big then.  It's a touch roomy, but not annoyingly so.

I did 10 repeats for the leg because I wanted it to be just a bit longer.  My usual stockinette heel and wedge toe.

Our summer has officially begun here now that school's out!  And I'll be doing a stash-free summer again like the past few years :)  Thanks for stopping by my neck of the woods and for your sweet comments.  I hope you're having a fabulous weekend and start to your summer (or winter!) too!!!
