Yesterday was a lovely SNOW DAY! Yay! I spent the morning working from home, but the afternoon was all mine to do whatever fun indoor activities I wanted. So, of course, I got in some major knitting time!! I recently enrolled in the Craftsy class, Stranded Colorwork: Basics and Beyond because I want to add fair isle to my set of knitting skills, so I figured this would be a good place to start. I spent a good chunk of the afternoon yesterday just practicing stranded colorwork on a swatch. I want to do it two-handed, picking the yarn in my left hand and throwing the yarn on my right, so that’s what I have been practicing. It’s not as hard as it sounds. I also practiced making floats using this method. It was lots of fun. The Craftsy class has you make some mittens to practice these skills, so I ordered some yarn yesterday and I will be able to start on the mittens just as soon as it arrives.
After playing around with my swatching, I also did quite a but of work on my Turmeric socks. I finished the leg and started on the heel flap. It was a little weird picking up this project after so long, but I eventually got in the swing of it.
In all my snow day fun, I failed to take pictures of any of these WIPS, so there is no art for this post. My apologies….
