Fair Isle Yoke sweater

Currently knitting the Fair Isle Yoke sweater from EZ. The main body and sleeves are in Knit Picks Swish DK Bare, and the Yoke will be in various colors of purple and pink. I got four colors for the yoke, and another color for a separate baby sweater but now I'm thinking I might substitute the baby sweater color for one of the colors designated for my sweater. I'm on the body right now, and I'm doing about three inches per day. I'm at 10.5 inches right now out of 15 inches. Hopefully I will get to 12 inches today and be able to do the last three inches tomorrow. We'll see how it goes. The Hedera socks distracted me for a day or two but I'm back on track with the sweater now.

My Hedera socks

Knitting Hedera socks for a friend. Using Jojoland Melody in y04. The heel is too deep, leaving extra fabric around my foot. I'll make the second sock the same way, the result is not too drastic, but next time I will make the heel flap shorter and pick up fewer gusset stitches to compensate. I love the gradual color changes in the yarn, although I think the plying makes for some kind of yucky spots. In pictures the colors are seamless so maybe from a distance they will be fine.
Fun things about this pair: I knit the first sock in about 15 hours, started in the morning and finished before I went to bed that night. I learned how to graft a toe with the first sock. After I successfully grafted it I went back and ripped out the attempt I had made to graft another sock and fixed it. The lace pattern is simple and allows the socks to push forward quickly. I'll probably use the extra yarn to make some lacy baby socks.

Up to my ears in WIPs

Wow, even longer since I posted here. I have a lot of projects on my plate right now. My cat toy project has stalled, which is sadly not surprising for me. I've been on a slightly manic yarn buying/project starting binge for a while now, and I decided to take a look through my WIPs the other day. I counted 17, took pictures of all of them, and as I figure out how to work the camera I will start posting them here with some sort of explanation about why I stopped working on them.
In addition to all the knitting, fall college classes just started up again. It is seriously cutting into my knitting time so I've started digging through WIPs to find ones that are simple enough to work on during lectures.
I also just joined the Lace Style KAL so I can share my progress on one of my current favorite projects, the Katharine Hepburn Cardigan in Knitpicks Shine Sport, color Violet. It is on a slight timeout right now because I realized the other day that I am making a size too small for myself. I really don't want to rip it out so if it turns out not to block enough I will gift it to someone else. I do like the pattern and I am considering doing another one in wool in a bigger size for myself, as a cold weather sweater. There I go planning another project again!
