It's that time of the summer when I close the store for a week (well, only three days in this case) and take some time for family. What's this mean for you? If you place an order from now until July 25, it will ship on Monday the 26th when the store reopens. It also means that you have the chance to win some yarny goodness in the form of four skeins of Simply Sock Yarn so you can knit the new Mad for Plaid pattern in Knitty or any other pattern you wish! It also means that you should check back next week to start voting for the Summer of Color contest winners.
How do you win this prize? Simply comment below telling me what knit or crochet project you are working on right now and link it if you like- that would make it easier for others to see it and be inspired. And if you aren't working on any project right now, just tell me ones you are thinking about starting or why there's nothing on your needles. I'll randomly choose one winner by Monday, July 26th. Simple as that.
I hope you all have a lovely week!
I have multiple projects on my needles right now. A shawl, a sweater (actually for me, which is rare), several pairs of socks, a baby sweater, a scarf. I think there are several others, but those are just the ones at the top of the pile. I also have quite a few Christmas presents sitting around waiting to be knit up.
Hope you enjoy your brief time off!

Right now I'm switching between Mason-Dixon's Log Cabin Baby Blanket and the OpArt baby blanket from Knitty. Then, I need to start another baby blanket. I'm hoping to have all three done by Christmas.

I working on the Traveling Woman shawlette. I also plan on casting on a pair of socks because I am going on vacation too and plan on taking them with me. Not sure what pattern yet, but something from Wendy Johnson!
Have a great vacation!!

I have a couple of baby sweaters that need to get done ASAP (or the little ones won't fit in them!). After that, it's time to do some knitting for me. :) Enjoy your vacation!

I am knitting another pair of socks for myself - in Lorna's Laces Seaside color. But that may be interrupted - my daughter let me know that I will be a grandma for the first time!!! So her husband is telling me which colors to knit with (his favorite soccer team colors :-) or green (his favorite color)

I'm working on Chrissy Gardiner's Progressive Sock Party mystery sock for the Sock Knitters Anonymous group on Ravelry. I'm using a hodgepodge of yarns (it calls for five different colors), including two of your solids -- cerulean and mint julep -- I bought last year at Sock Summit. They're lovely!

I'm a little bit stuck. I'm knitting the "Knotty or Knice" socks from IK (http://www.interweavestore.com/Knitting/Patterns/Knotty-or-Knice-Socks.html) for my mom for Christmas. I don't know what's slowing me down. I have nice yarn (DIC smooshy) in a lovely purple color, but I just can't get a rhythm going on them.
Maybe it's the garden outside or the challenge of keeping 3 kids busy and happy during summer (aka, the "Mom Camp"). It just seems like there's never a moment to sit down and knit.
Feeling the need for some new inspiration. These are a great winter knit, but I think I'm looking for something fun and simple to kickstart the knitting again.
Posted by: Joanie | July 20, 2010 at 10:58 AM
I've been making lots of baby things - my sister and my good friend are both expecting baby girls. I've just finished 2 sets of baby booties and a baby surprise jacket, and I started another sweater last night...

Im also knitting socks with Lornas Laces Seaside. Since Im landlocked in the middle of the country the colors bring back happy memories of the shore. Also working on a pair in Malibrigo sock that my daughter got from you at Christmas. Finished the Opal Rainforest Isabel in a Jaywalker pattern. Starting my first lace shawl. Want to have it finished as a gift at Thanksgiving time. Do you think I can do it?
Posted by: mary | July 20, 2010 at 01:00 PM
I have too many unfinished projects right now!! I have 2 shawls that are nearly done, at least 3 or 4 socks that are started, a couple of scarves, etc etc....but I still love them all, so I will finish them!! Have a wonderful time with your family---as you have already seen, time flies by really fast with little ones, and it doesn't slow down. Unfortunately, we can't get that time back, so we need to make the most of each moment---and I don't mean just filling it with alot of activity, but enjoying time together! You'll never regret it! :) Thanks for the contest -- the colors in your Simply Sock Yarn line are beautiful!!

I'm currently knitting Elizabeth of York (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/elizabeth-of-york/people - the original is a vest, although the first two projects are pullovers) for my mother - it's her much-delayed Christmas present from 2008! I also am working on Frost Flowers Stole (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/frost-flowers-stole) in some overdyed Zephyr. My portable project is not my usual socks, but a one-row lace scarf that I'm finishing for a friend (it was started by a mutual friend before she passed away, and my friend just can't bring herself to finish it.)

Knitting on the last pattern repeat on Alix's Prayer Shawl and on the 4th, two-row repeat of the nupps on the Swallowtail Shawl using Fleece Artist Suri Blue 'Aurora. Also have two pairs of socks on the needles and trying to decide what sock pattern I want to do next since I just finished kitchenering the 3rd pair that I had going.
That is certainly not my total list of what I have going right now. My longer term UFO pile is really quite large: I grab something out of it at least once a month and either finish it or rip it out. Drastic but it works for me!

My current sock project is the Branched Fern pattern by Kathleen Williams from the book "Think outside the sox" (a must have for every sock knitter I think) in

A coat made of Berroco Keltic is patiently resting while I decide which style of sleeves I'll make. Meanwhile, I am almost finished with some socks for myself (for a change) using a double strand of Plymouth Happy Feet. Doubling sock yarn not only makes the project go quickly. since it knits up at worsted gauge, it makes a thicker, sturdier sock. I prefer short, slouchy tops on my socks, but I want them warm and durable. Doubling fingering weight yarn works great.
Posted by: Susan D Murphy | July 22, 2010 at 01:42 PM
I'm finishing a pair of striped socks for myself and also have started a pair for my best friend as a Christmas gift. Am knitting Boneyard Shawlette in fingering weight.

I am getting ready to leave on vacation for a week at the beach in North Carolina. I have 3 socks started for the trip.....one is a "second sock", a mindless plain vanilla sock using some patterened yarn on size 2 needles so I can knit in the car. My second project is from Candace Eisner Strick's new book, called Raspberry Truffle. It is on size 1 needles and is a little more complicated, perfect "on the porch" project where I have good light. My third project is a sock from a local shops mystery sock project, it is called Politically Correct. I couldn't do their top down version, I am a total toe up sock addict, it took me a couple of days to figure out how to change the pattern around..... two more sleeps till we leave for the beach.

I've got a 'large' version of the Simple Things Shawlette designed by one of my Rav buddies. She envisioned us all using sock yarn for it, but I was gifted with 5 skeins of Schoppel Wolle from a friend who's in Germany right now. I wasn't sure what to do with it, and had just finished my 'small' version of Simple Things and it's such an easy & fun knit, I thought that if I used the gift yarn, it would be like a wearable hug from a friend who's far away. It's a little warm to be working it, but it should be done soon, and this fall when it's cooler, I'll be able to wear a hug - that's something worth smiling about.

This is turning out great--it is light and will be perfect for tossing on in these over-air-conditioned places this summer. It will also be light enough to toss in a bag so I can have it with me "just in case." Hope you're having a great time!

I have just finished my third pair of socks. YAY!! And I'm about to start another one -- I have vowed I will always have a pair of socks going. I try to have at least one crochet and one knitting project going at the same time (it helps my muscles) so I'm also working on Kristin Omdahl's crocheted Vinga Shawl. I'm about to start a sweater for my husband -- the first one I've made him since we were dating -- and we just celebrated our 21st anniversary.

Hope you are enjoying your fishing trip! Maybe you will be inspired to come up with a colorway dedicated to the fish.... :) On my needles are: baby blanket, baby suprize jacket, pair of socks, 2 shawls and countless other projects running through my mind to do as I finish one.
