Little to show for my efforts


I seem to always be knitting or crocheting, yet I feel as though I have accomplished very little. I think I may have swatched about 6 different times using a lovely Lily Chin merino. I just can't get the stitch gauge right for the butterfly stitch sweater that I wanted to make. I have given up on it. I've found another sweater that I can make with the yarn, but I need to practice using cables first.

I did knit up a "calorimetry" headband using some pretty Lion Wool Print in ocean colors. It came out very nice. I'm going to try another one, perhaps using double strands of some sock yarn that I have.

I've been developing my own baby sock pattern. It is coming along. My goal is to make baby socks with the least amount of purling possible.
