Knitting assembly line

I probably have too much going on right now, very few finished objects lately. These (familiar) baby socks

And some funny striped headwear… …sorry about the image quality…

And those unfinished ones. These man’s socks are my absolute favourite right now. I love the look of rugged, coarse and oily finnish lambswool so much that I don’t mind that it is not the most pleasant yarn to knit. Pattern is from Favorite Socks book: Cable Rib Socks.

I love Koigu! It’s very pleasant to knit but the best part is lovely colourwork, it emphasizes knitted surface in a very unique way. These are my denim Embossed Leaves Socks! It’s a shame that this yarn is so hard to get…

I don’t love all my knits in progress. Chevron Sweater almost makes me cry. I love green but these two shades are too close together. The shade is different enough, but it would look so much better if there were a difference in colour value, too. So this is hibernating a while, and I’m considering getting one shade lighter green silk from Colourmart. And now the promise: I will never again start colourwork without actual yarn samples and proper swatching!

Ah, there is another finished object: my gray Montego Bay scarf - which I absolutely love! Actually I love it so much that this lovely handpainted mocha-purple yarn by Skeinqueen is knitting up fast to another one! I try to take a photo of the finished object in the next weekend.
