Fiberuary - Week 2

I am traveling at the end of this week, so had to plan ahead a bit to meet the challenges while on the road.  At the beginning, I am home.

Day 8 - Flat Lay Fun

These are ten triangle pennants I knit for the Triangle Fiber Guild's display at Carolina Fiber Fest next month.  I created some in crochet; the original pattern is knit only.  Most of these are scraps of yarn and here they are pinned out to get the proper triangular form.  They should dry by Monday's meeting.

Day 9 - Sunday funday

Of course I was knitting as I did many things.  I watched the film for my cinema class and attended class.  I took a walk in the sunshine, and planned to sit and knit by a nearby pond, but I liked the view of their manmade waterfall.  I also knit during Franklin Habit's weekly Patreon chat, and during the SuperBowl but I forgot to take a picture of my knitting there.  It was the sweater again which is easier to do when paying attention to something else, than the mittens are.

Day 10 - Mood Board

I don't generally do mood boards; I don't understand how to put them together.  So I just collected a bunch of pictures I have of things that I enjoy, from other people's art to inspiring sayings to woodworking tools.

Day 11 - Texture

Day 12 - Unfinished Business

This is my Thisaway Shawl from the DFW Fiber Fest 2024 Make-Alongs.  Obviously I didn't finish it in time, and I thought about finishing it today but for two things.  One, I want to finish the hat for my bestie whom I am visiting this weekend.  Two, I cannot find the pattern!  Yes, I can print it out again, but I was tracking where I was, and although I can figure it out again, I also had notes of where to add the yellow, which is helping to stretch the multicolour.  I will look for it when I return.

Day 13 - Favourite

I love to knit mittens for myself.  Also for other people, but these are the pairs I have that I have knitted over time, and I knitted at least one other pair that is somewhere I couldn't find it quickly this morning.  The mismatched multicoloured ones are the most recent, from handspun yarn by a vendor I like; they came from a single ball, and I had enough for a hat with some other of her yarn to complete it.  I am sad that the brown-striped ones were moth-munched some time ago, because I love how fraternal and almost mirroring they are.  I knit them of one ball of sock yarn.  I've had the orange-and-gold ones for a long time and no longer remember the yarn I used; the orange-multi ones are Morehouse Farm yarn that I bought at New York Sheep & Wool many years ago.

Day 14 - Love

This is a photo of the hat and mittens I have been knitting for my bestie of alpaca yarn from a farm where she used to work.  Currently the hat is still in-progress; I will have it finished before I leave on Sunday.  These are a secret from her until given.  😍
