Making Some Progress on Monday


I have been slowly making progress on the Transitions Ribbed Boxed T shawl from Trendsetter.  It is using the Transitions yarn which is a 52/48 cotton/acrylic blend.   The yarn is four strands of yarn that change colors periodically.  I am finding it splits very easily since there is no twist to hold it together.
The marker is where I started this evening when I picked it up.

October Socks and A Green Scarf

 I am working on a scarf for my son.  I made him a green Link hat at Christmas time last year so he thought he needed a scarf to go with it. He didn't want a pattern and I didn't want to just do a garter stitch scarf so we compromised. Nothing too fancy just a little texture.
 My yarn store got Hedgehog Fibres in so I used some store credit I had.  I am doing sock similar to the Weasley house sock.  At least I think that is the name of the pattern.
I have been participating in the Second Annual Desert Vista Dyeworks sock knit along. I have completed nine pairs this year and will hopefully finish the year. I am kind of losing steam though. Not sure I will finish the year.
