Laura is knitting on a pair of plain self-striping socks out of Coloring Book Yarns in the Play colorway. She is knitting it on size 1 needles (2.25mm). She also knit a few rows on Jackaroo by Amy Herzog using size 6 needles and a Naturally Merino, a New Zealand merino/silk blend yarn. She swatched for her 3rd Camp Loopy Project, Every Last Yard and is getting gauge on size 7 needles.
Leslie is knitting on Skyp socks in Caterpillar Green’s Concrete & Tulips colorway. She has swatched for the Tric cardigan in Highland Handmades Butternut DK in the Slate colorway. She has almost finished The View From Here hat out of Desert Vista Dyeworks, and is making good progress on Asunder out of The Cyborg’s Craft Room in the Stellar and I Will Follow You Into The Dark colorways.
Laura has finished her Camp Loopy 2 project. It is Stocco by Rose Beck. She knit it on size 6 (4.5 mm) needles using Skein DK. It is huge! Over a 90 inch wingspan.
Laura has finished prep on the cormo and has 3-plyed a total of 6.6 ounces for 336 yards. She is working on singles in shetland in the Double Dog Dare colorway from Southern Cross Fibre and BFL in the Black on Holiday colorway from Hello Yarn.
Question from Punk Yarner, “I’m a very broke knitter/crocheter so I can only get the worsted weight stuff from Wal-Mart. I keep hearing things like DK and Fingering, what are the different yarn weights and what do their names mean?”
Next on the Needles: Laura is going to knit Allis in support of a LynnZimm’s niece, Megan. Leslie is going to cast on Big Damn Heroes out of Madelinetosh TML sent by a sweet viewer.
