Kimono and sock

I’ve finished the left front of the kimono coat and started across the back.

Kimono coat

Left front, beginning of back



So far I’m happy with the way things are shaping up.  The armscye turned out to be much simpler than I’d thought it would be.  It is, however, connected at the top as I didn’t cut the yarn and rejoin.  I finished the last row of the front, chained the number of stitches I needed, joined at the appropriate spot and went on.  I don’t think that should be a problem.

Peppermint sock

Mated - at long last!



I finally began the mate for the peppermint sock - not that I’ve gotten very far yet, as you can see.  Basically I’ve just gotten the toe established and begun the ribbing pattern.  It will be my fill-in (when I’ve got a few minutes free) and my take-along project.  I’m glad to have it finally under way because I’ve got some very nice sock yarns waiting in the wings that I would like to use.  The idea of having nice warm, wool socks this winter makes me very happy :)

Looks a little thoughtful this morning, doesn’t she?  Probably wondering how she can get the sparrows on the feeder to come inside and play :)

    (No - the mushrooms have nothing to do with anything, I’ve just been wanting to use them for months now! hehehehe)

  2. Bron - Hehe - they’re pretty cute, aren’t they?  And speaking of mushrooms, mushroom soup sounds pretty good for this afternoon!  Mushroom.gif width=35 height=35

  4. Maureen - Thanks, I like the color a lot too, but am thinking seriously about adding another color as well :)  The socks will be uber-cool if I ever get them done - LOL!  That darned second sock syndrome.
