I started my Malabrigo KAL project last weekend, and I'm really pleased with the progress I've made so far!
I knit it Saturday at a family baby shower.
I knit it Sunday while having a lazy day and enjoying episodes of The Pioneer Woman.
I knit so much that I am now on something I would equate to the feeling of "sleeve island" where you knit and knit and knit for hours and barely see progress. That's because I have 310 stitches on the needles and am knitting stockinette for 22 rows. A LONG TIME.
Shop Manager Heather, on the other hand IS FINISHED WITH HERS ALREADY.
HOLY WOW. This is the picture she texted me around 10:00 last night as it was being blocked. We'll get better ones later but I just couldn't resist sharing. Now, keep in mind that Heather received the pattern over a month ago and even passed along some editing help to Malabrigo, and she really started knitting a lot on hers about 2-3 weeks ago. So she was much farther than the rest of us before the KAL even started. But even knowing that, isn't this impressive? She's a total pro.
Are you knitting this project? The pattern is available here if you want to join. We are happy to help you come up with your chosen colors if you are unsure. You need two skeins of Ultimate Sock and three skeins of Mohair. Some are choosing two different colors like Heather who chose Pocion in Ultimate Sock and Tigers Eye in Mohair. I chose two skeins of the same color, Indiecita. I do love the watery greens. Find combos suggestions here on last week's blog.
If you'd like to email me at [email protected] with your project photos or links to your Ravelry page, I'd love to show them off here on the blog. I'll be blogging throughout the rest of this month sharing all sorts of projects that you've made recently, so please do reach out if you'd like to share any of yours with the blog readers! You all have emailed me some great photos recently, so I'll be sharing some of those this week and next as we lead up to Socktober.
