Shores and More Knitting

I worked on Shores a little bit over the weekend...

I also worked on my BFF sock. I'm down to the heel flap now!

This sock isn't actually this bright!

Unfortunately I had to rip out my other socks. I messed up on the increase - I'll start over soon (I need to brush up on some basics - it's been awhile).

I also decided to start a scarf. I have always loved this scarf made by Brooklyn Tweed. I went through my stash and found the perfect yarn (yarn I was using for a couple of sweaters that I know I'll never finish).

Noro Scarf
Noro Silk Garden #86 and Cascade Lana D'oro Tweed #7619

Hopefully, I can get it finished and the sock finished soon! Write later!

Nicole, Your yarn colors are so pretty. I wish I knew how to knit. I have tried but I just cant get the hang of it, I'll stick with crochet

Terri said...

Great stitching. The scarf is really nice. I love your socks too. I love home made socks

Kathy said...

I love the colors for you socks. So pretty. And the one for the scarf is simply beautiful. Beautiful stitching too.

Michelle said...

Gorgeous scarf! Shores is really coming along too - you'll be done with that block in no time!

Great progress on Shores. I've knit 3 of the Noro scarf. As someone who isn't fond of the yarn, I really do like how it knits up. The color changes are stunning.

Nice stitching and knitting. You're a multi-talented girl :-)
Makes me want to pull out my needles and yarn and give it another go. I tried to learn knitting a few years ago but haven't picked it up since then. Socks would be fun to learn how to knit. It took me forever to learn increses in crochet? Maybe there is hope :-)

Lovely progress on Shores, and ohhhh, your knitting! I LOVE these Noro stripey scarves!

Deb said...

Just love the colors in your scarf. Right up my alley! And love your socks too. I'll bet those are going to be so warm. And you're making great progress on Shores too!

Margaret said...

love your stitching and knitting both. It's great that you've gotten back into knitting again. Maybe I will sometime too.

Very nice stitching progress on Shores. Love your socks and your scarf (I really love the colors of your scarf!)

Peggy Lee said...

Your stitching is beautiful of course and I really like the yarn colors you have chosen for the scarf!

Nicole, Shores is moving along. I love the yarn for the scarf. I just started my first pair of socks but I'm thinking the ribbing is not right so I'll probably be ripping it out.

Love each one of your WIPs!

Giovanna said...

Love your knitting, and that block of Shores is coming along nicely!

Cari said...

Love your shores, love your socks, and love your scarf. I tried 2 socks at a time once...too much frustration. But I can sure knit up socks in a hurry on one long needle...magic loop. I love that technique. I've knit quite a few scarves using Jared's pattern as well. Have a great week!!

Pam Schaffner said...

Nicole, your Shores is just gorgeous. Remind us again what fabric and fibers you are using. The colors just pop!

I love my noro Jared Flood scarf - I wear it all the time - yours is very pretty. Who doesn't love some mindless knitting??? the sock pattern is pretty - I always have knitting in my hands - love to stitch but knitting is my daily zen - your Shores is really coming along. Enjoy your projects! melody
