Knitting progress

My lace socks are coming along. I put the first sock on stitch holders and started the second one from the other end of the yarn cake.

I’m going to make them as tall as I can.

Thebes’s Noro sweater has been frogged. The squares puckered too much when seamed together. Then I tried to do something crazy where I had a bunch of little Noro balls and knit all the squares in a round. That was a tangled mess. It was just a world of wrong.

So I frogged it and decided to make a blanket. I found the Ten Stitch Blanket pattern on Ravelry.

It’s a nice, relaxed pattern and shows off the Noro colors beautifully.

For Thebes’s sweater I’ve switched to a new yarn and pattern. I’ll blog about it as soon as I get enough on the needles for a pic.
