CMYK - Catch Me if You Knit

, originally uploaded by stitch-by-stitch.

I recently bought a skein of Trailing Clouds Mind The Gap. They also had a striking colourway called CMYK. I had to have one. I was lucky enough to score one in a recent update. These are my commute knitting.

Wild Thing socks

On my trip to Canberra, I couldn't resist this in a destash. Wollmeise Wild Thing. I'd never seen it before let alone knit with it. It was a "spiralen" skein so it was dyed to knit up in spirals. I think they look pretty striking. Especially with the black contrast heel/toe. Again using an FLK heel.

Robin #3

Well, we all know I'm having a love affair with the Robin sweater. I already made 2 of them for myself in Wollmeise DK. Now I just needed another one in plain black. I had a pair of patterned leggings in mind. I couldn't get myself to make another one so I sent it out to WWFY. Sadly it was made a bit too short for leggings. But they look pretty good with jeans!

...pattern to come. I need to figure out some shoulder tweaks and then come up with numbers for other sizes. Stay tuned :)

Progress...

Striiiiiipes

Finished! The first sock took 2 days. The 2nd sock took just one day. I had to use my Suzanne leftovers. It's such a gorgeous colour.

I must always remember to move the stitches around so that the colour change happens at the back of the leg and underfoot. I forgot to do that with the 2nd sock. It's much neater that way! Doh!

Lorna's Laces Solemate

So I "needed" a couple of needles. I get them from Purlwise. They have free shipping over $50. So I had to make it worth while...right?

I've had my eye on this colourway for a while. Thought I'd try this out.
