WIPs

I’m working on a stripy sock out of the Amy Lee Show’s Canon Hand Dyed Yarn in the Arthur base in the “We are for the Night.” Soooo close to being done.  Laura has started the “No Place Like Home Socks” by the lovely Star Athena. They are out of Wollmeise in the Pillars of Fire and size 1 (2.25) signature dpns in the 6 inch length.  I am designing “My Wish” out of Tempted Good Grlll in the Fridgid and Moondance colorways.  All proceeds from this pattern will go to Make a Wish until September 1st. Next on Laura’s needles will be some handspun socks out of Blue Moon Fiber Arts sheep to shoe in Sherbert.

Leslie has leadlight on the needles.

About Leslie

Leslie is obsessed with knitting, and when possible, perfection in her knitting. All stripey socks must match exactly and all lace must be blocked severely. She has major love for all of her viewers/readers and hopes to keep blogging and podcasting for years to come.
