WIP Wednesday - Borders

Hello everyone I only have time for a quick post today but I do have a nice and juicy project update for you all.

Today is really dreary and I have on my Shapely Boyfriend Cardigan to keep me warm at work.  I would rather have a hug from my real boyfriend though.  

Warm Sweater

Hue Shift Afghan

Half way done with the border

I am so in love with this blanket.  It has kept me warm as the summer nights cool when I have been working on this blanket.  I am considering backing the blanket because of all of my weaved in ends but I probably won't do that.

I bound off each side with a size 9 needle to give the edge some give and I think it will square up nicely once the other two sides are on.  Hope to pick up all of the stitches tonight.

That's it for this week.

WIP Wednesday - Still Distracted

Geez the summer is slipping away fast and I am still super busy.  I wanted to pop in and say hello and show you some progress I've made so far this summer.

Got another manicure

Hue Shift Afghan

working on the border

So this is an older picture but I wanted to show you all how the border is working up.  I actually cast off this side and am working on the other side.  I really think I chose well with the camel.  I work on this thing in fits and spurts but I am making progress.  It's great TV knitting because it's mindless while keeping my hands busy.

Willow Square Blanket

Willow Squares!

I have gotten a few more squares done and I love the combination of colors.  I did however make a decision to rip out the single crochet row and add a double crochet row. I have a bit of rework to do but I think the end result will be a nicer, fuller blanket.

Oh La La!

It's a sweater!

I am really pleased with the progress on this sweater.  I really think the end result will be better than my original planned stripes.  But it's been to hot to think about a sweater.

That's it for this week.

WIP Wednesday - Borders

Things have been very dull lately.  Just work and home for the most part and knitting at night.

So without further ado, let's talk about knitting :)

Hue Shift Afghan

It's Alive!

I finished all of the sections and couldn't wait to put it together!  I used a crochet slip stitch to join because I am faster with a hook than a darning needle.  It created a ridge but there are so many ridges from picking up stitches that it really doesn't matter on the back.

Also, I needed to create a ridge so the pattern would line up.  I tried mattress stitch and whip stitch and both caused the squares to be slightly off from one another.  Given the optical attractiveness of the pattern, it would have bugged the crap out of me with the squares being slightly off in the center.

I still have some ends to weave in but its mainly along the seams which I can catch as a distraction from the border.

Speaking of the border...

We have the start to a border

So based on the expert opinion of Samie (NotYourGram'sAfghan), I decided to go with a camel colored border vs a navy border.  That blue is bright in this picture, but in natural light is actually pretty dark and the colors would have been lost with the navy border.

I have 3 garter ridges done so far.  I am aiming for either 15 or 20 ridges and will make that call when I get that far.  I do need to switch cable lengths again.  I am using a cable that makes the needle set 60" long and its just too long.  Need to switch to something a little shorter so the stitches move easier as I knit the rows.

I did crochet two more  Willow Square Blanket squares but failed to get a picture this morning before work.  I hope that now all of my yarn is freed up from this blanket that I can get more done between border rows.

That's it for this week.

WIP Wednesday - Beautiful

Hello my lovely followers! I hope all is well with you and I can't wait to share what's going on in Amaryllis world.

I had another long weekend and spent it with awesome people. I had one last day of vacation before the end of the work fiscal year (May 31st).  I was able to move a doctors appointment with my sleep study doctor (I have sleep apnea) to the late morning so I could sleep in later than normal.

After my appointment I met up for lunch with Samie from NotYourGramsAfghan and Dianne (friend from work and knitting).  Samie posted a great post about our day but I the long an short of it was that I bought yarn that I had no intention of buying but it's going to make a great Ginny's Cardigan.

Impulse Buy!

Saturday evening I met up with Aunt Becky and Aunt Fran for Indian Food.  I have been craving the stuff constantly lately and none of my family is into the savory dishes except for them.  I am so thankful that do like it because dinner was awesome.

Sunday, I had breakfast with Lucy and her fiancé Kevin.  Lucy and I were college roommates and we don't get to see each other a lot because she moved back east to Philly.  We do talk online all the time and I am in her wedding next June.  Seriously it's like a year from this weekend!  So exciting.

Lucy and I after breakfast at Pamela's Diner

Other than that I went to the gym and worked on my knitting but what I did realize recently is that I actually believe people when they tell me that I am pretty and beautiful.  I can't tell you the last time I had confidence in my beauty and it's kind of awesome.

Yeah, I kinda rock!

So with that said, let's see what I have worked on this week.

Hue Shift Afghan

Quadrant 4, half way done

I don't know what has kept me working on this but I have been churning out mitered squares like it's my job (alas, it's not).  I just want to see this blanket done and want to start on the border.  So I keep pushing through and soon it will be done. 

I am already on the 4th color of the 5 in this quadrant.  I remember how long it took to make my first quadrant. That just shows how far I have come as a knitter.

Oh La La!

I ripped out the original work I did on this sweater

So I know I talked about this sweater before and I was really excited for the concept but in practice I didn't like how it was turning out.  So after a bit of time in timeout, I decided to rip out all of my work and start again.

What I have so far

I changed my striping scheme to make my life a little bit easier and have less ends to weave in.  So I do a few rows every night and it's coming along.

Blast Off Shrug

Just a bit of a swatch

So I got an email from SweetGeorgia Yarn talking about patterns and new colors of her yarn.  Needless to say, I fell in love with the Nineteen Twenty Shrug and immediately bought it and started to plan.

I had lovely hot pink and orange yarn from SpaceCadetCreations in Celeste that I bought at a local yarn festival.  The color was a "Department of Rocket Science" color so that means the dyer was experimenting and hasn't decided what to do with the color way.  I really hope it becomes a part of the regular line up because it's gorgeous.

Anyway, I started to swatch with the recommended needles but it was just too large so I ripped it out and started again with smaller needles.  I need to keep working on it so I can wash and block it before I get started.  So excited about this though :)

That's it for this week.

WIP Wednesday - Three Quarters

Hello again, I hope everyone had a lovely Memorial Day and weekend.  I am so thankful to those who dedicate their lives to defending our country.  I definitely try to keep that in mind during the long weekend.

I did however have a nice relaxing weekend where I didn't do to much.  I basically hung out with family, went to the movies (Godzilla - it was awesome!) and cleaned.  Really exciting stuff but I did get a new duvet cover for my bed and new sheets to compliment it.  What was even better was that it was all on sale!  Score!

So in love with Pink and Orange right now

So other than that blanket work has kept me entertained these past two weeks.

Hue Shift Afghan

Three Quarters of the blanket are done!

So I have been super motivated to get this blanket done.  I really love seeing these blocks come together.  I did try and start to join them but the mattress stitch pulled the patterned stripes off and it hurt my brain.  I have a few tricks up my sleeve though.  I am going to try again but move a bit further into the block than my first test.  If that doesn't work then they are getting whip stitched together.

The last quadrant

While I put the thoughts of joining in the corner to think about what its done, I started on the last section.  I purposely made sure this was the last section because these are my favorite colors of the blanket.  I knew when I started this thing that I was going to need a good motivator to get this last section done and so I put these colors last.

That combined with the Willow Square Blanket have really gotten me grooving on getting this project completed.  I even have the ends weaved in on two of the 3 completed quadrants.  Which is huge because there are a lot of ends.  I try and finish some ends after I complete a row so everything is ready when I start to join and complete the border.

I am going to modify the border on this blanket.  Since it's coming out smaller than I thought it would, I am going to make the border thicker to make the blanket larger.  I am also using Navy as the border instead of black like the sample had.

All in all I can't wait for this blanket to be done to snuggle underneath.

That's it for this week.

WIP Wednesday - Poor Benji

Really my post has nothing to do with anyone named Benjamin but it's stuck in my head from Pitch Perfect and my friend Samie.  Goodness I love that movie and need to remember to watch it more often.

Anyway, we have had some really warm weather this week with low humidity.  Aside from my allergies exploding, I am super pumped about this time of year.  Seriously, its gorgeous!

So things have been pretty calm here in Amaryllis land, between work, the gym and home I am pretty boring but I have made some progress on my blankets.

Hue Shift Afghan

Another color bites the dust...well becomes a willow square

As I have indicated, I am really trying to finish a color on this blanket to make squares for the Willow Square Blanket.  It's working pretty well so far as I finished the peachy color called (Shrimp) last night.

Now onto the last row of this section.  With that done all is left is the blues and green section, which may just be my favorite part.  Though after my favorite, I still have a lot of ends to weave in which is my least favorite part.

Willow Square Blanket

Pretty Peachy Square

Since I just finished the Shrimp color last night, I only got one square done but still wanted to show everyone.  Just need to keep on moving and both blankets will be done before I know it.

That's it for this week.

WIP Wednesday - Mojo

Hey there!  I am so excited to post today.  For the past few weeks, I have not been inclined to really knit or crochet.  And when I have made some progress my stupid phone was not cooperating.  Finally the stars are aligning and I am happy to craft and can take gorgeous pictures with my new phone.  Yippy.

In other news, even though it is rainy and grey today the bright colors of spring are starting to appear.  The trees are blossoming and turning that lovely shade of bight green.  The air is also fragrant with spring flowers and wet earth.  Love that smell.  The only downside is my allergies are starting to kick up.  Lots of meds for me to breathe.  Guess it's a good thing I like to stay in and craft!

Wandering Hobbit

Love the springy blues, greens and purples :)

Sadly, it has been almost 2 months since I wrote an update on my crafting.  In that time, I have really only worked on this project.  I was really more focused with reading than knitting so this has been my sole project during my Thursday Knit Nights.  This is a great project to plug away on since its a little interesting with the short rows to make the stripes.

I am using Blue Moon Fiber Arts - Socks That Rock in Hobbit Garden.  I fell so in love with the colors and the skein just called to me while digging through my stash this it winter.

I have decided to deviate from the pattern and do German Short Rows instead of wraps and turns.  Overall I am super happy with my progress.

Willow Square Blanket

Pretty Flowery Squares

It's funny where inspiration comes from.  I was scrolling through the We Love Lucy group on Facebook and was captivated by a gorgeous photo of solid floral crochet squares.  After reading in the caption that they were Willow squares, I quickly opened ravelry to look up the pattern.

Low and behold, this square was a part of Jan Eaton's 200 Crocket Blocks.  A book that has been in my possession for years.  In that instant I decided that I would use my oodles of Stylecraft to make a colorful blanket using these blocks.  

Since I have approximately 30 colors in my stash from this brand, I decided to limit myself to 2 per color to start.  I can go back and make more but wanted to see all the pretty colors together.  So I pulled out my tote of Stylecraft from my stash and pulled the Lipstick (red) from the top and got to work. Then I grabbed the Copper (reddish-brown) and the Plum (reddish-purple)

About mid way through the I realized that I was done with the Violet (light purple) from my Hue Shift Afghan and should use that next and finish up one skein before I open another.  After finishing that set I realized that if I just finished the last three squares on my Hue Shift that I could make Willow Squares from the Pomegranate (pink) yarn.  So of course I started to knit on that project. 

Hue Shift Afghan

It's Back!

As mentioned above, I started working on this project because I have ulterior motives.  I want to use up these colors in my new blanket before I start a new skein of the color.  Call me OCD but I like finishing skeins before I start new ones.  

So having the motivation, I plan on finsihing a row of this and then jumping back to my crochet squares.  I do have a bunch of colors that have never been opened that will tide me over while I am knitting on Shrimp (peachy orange).  All in all, I hope to get the main sections done before the end of June. 

Does anyone else think I have a problem that I tend to make blankets in the summer?  Who knows but stay tuned.

So that's all for this week.

WIP Wednesday - Thinking Warm Thoughts

Hello again my lovely followers!  It's -1° F here in the Burgh and I'm cold.  Thankfully I live in a building with radiators so my place is generally nice and warm but it screws with my head when I am getting dressed in the morning.  I have been known to not wear a warm enough coat because I misjudged the weather.

Really in this weather I miss my snuggle bug, Zoey.  She and I would cuddle while I was home recovering from my surgery.  She would find the crook of my knee and curl into a little ball and sleep with me in the morning.  Since I am back at my apartment, I don't get my own personal heater but I at least get to see her on weekends.  :)

During my recover and since I have returned home my needles have been flying.  It's hard to explain but while on the pain medication it was hard to concentrate to read but I was able to knit.  I think it was the muscle memory and the simple movements but my hands flew while I recovered.  Other than that, I just sat around and watched movies and binge watched Big Bang Theory and NCIS.  

Now that I am back to work, I realize how important calories are to energy.  I am only able to eat about 500-600 calories a day and boy am I tired when I get home.  I know I am going to crash when I get home tonight since I also have my Grad Class to attend.  Other than being tired I feel great but I think I might need to start exercises with some light weights as my arms are really flabby.  I used to be able to flex a bicep muscle but now its just flab, need to get on that and do some bicep curls.

Rigging Up the Color Affection

Lots of colors!

This was my go to project while recovering.  I still had the majority of the short rows to complete and then the last section.  As soon as I got to the final section I decided to take a bit of a break.  It's kind of tedious and I worked on it for 2 straight weeks so really it needed a time out.  I really like the colors though.  When I am working on it I doubt my love for the shawl but when I step back and look at it, the shawl really is lovely.

Now just to plow through and get the border done.  Shouldn't take too long to get completed.

Hue Shift Afghan

Progress!

This is the third major section of 4 and I am about half way done with it.  Woot Woot!!!!  Unlike the color affection this has some instant gratification that I can get a square done and feel like I accomplished something.  Due to the construction, when you get a square done, it seems necessary to start the next square so you don't drop stitches.  So I hope to get this square done soon and then start on the last one.  That one should be fun since it's just the blue section.

Cherry Sundry

Almost finsihed

I have also picked this back up.  It got shelved when I was working on my cardigan and then back burnered when I started the color affection.  Given the break this project had I gleefully picked it back up to work on instead of the color affection.  I finished the houndstooth section and started on the final solid color section.  I am about half way done with it and then just need to figure out the picot bind off.

I really love this brown.  It looks brown but in the right light reds and greys play with the brown and just look lovely against the crimson.  

It's also really big and warm.  I can't wait until it's done so I can wear it on these cold winter days.

So that's all for this week.

WIP Wednesday - Stalled

Lately, I feel like I can't catch up.  The hardest part of September is getting back into the swing of school and work.  I lazed around during the summer only jump right back into a hectic schedule in the fall.

So today this will probably be pretty short because it's 10 AM and I still have a 2 page paper to write by 6 pm for class.  I have such good intentions not to procrastinate but alas I did.

In other news, I have been moved back to my old group at work.  Basically, the original move was the right decision but it was the wrong time.  It will be revisited after the holidays.

White Centered Granny Blanket

Another set of square ready to join!

Holy Cow!  I looked back at my last WIP Wednesday post and realized I haven't made much progress on anything in 2 weeks.  I realized with writing this blog that I have big spurts of productivity with some downtime in between.

On this project, I got all of the colored squares done but still needed to do the borders and weave in the ends.  So for the past two weeks, I have been working on the next set of 20 squares.  I broke this blanket into sections to make it seem less daunting and have had success so far.  As I finished bordering the 20th square for this section, I ran out of yarn.  I managed to find just enough ends to finish off the square but it was close.  So now to put the section together, I need to run to the knitting store and get the yarn I have on order.  I hope 10 balls of the white will be enough to edge 30 more squares and then the border.

Other Projects

Cherry Sundry has been my go to knitting project.  I have the first part of the pattern memorized and I basically repeat the pattern until I use 2/3 of the yarn by weight.  So while progress has been made, the pictures just look like a growing triangle.

Hue Shift Afghan my plan is as soon as I finish this Granny Blanket to get back to working on this.  Not only do I have two more sections to knit but I have to do some blocking to fix my gauge issue.  My gauge tightened during the second section and I am 0.5 inches off on each side of the block.  I did manage to order the Navy yarn I need for the border along with 15 other colors...oops :)

Diagonal Lace Socks I don't know if you recall these yellow socks I was working on.  In an effort just to get stuff done, I brought these out and started to work on the second sock.

WIP Wednesday - Err Thursday? #3

What a crazy week!  I keep forgetting what day of the week it is and I was so certain yesterday was Tuesday.  Hence the delay in writing here.  Monday was the Labor Day holiday and it just completely threw my week off.  Tuesday was generally okay but yesterday I had one hell of a day.

First I found out that I am switching groups at work.  My day to day isn't changing but I basically got re-aligned to a new manager based on that work.  It's not a bad thing just different and that sort of leaves me unsettled.  Then I realized I left my debit card at home, so when I left for my class I had to double back to my apartment and get it.  In doing this trip I ended up being 30 minutes late for my class.  Thankfully my professor is reasonable and didn't get mad.

On top of that, when I did briefly realize yesterday was Wednesday I was a bit to swamped to get to the blog.  Similarly I just got a moment today to update.

So here we are in September and one of my favorite months.  I love September and October.  This is my favorite weather of the year.  I love the cool crisp breezes that flow through the area.  I love watching the green leaves turn their dazzling fall colors.  I love apples, pumpkins and baked appley and pumkiny things!  This is the season of pies, stews, and hearty soups. I even love the cool rainy days when I can lounge around with a cup of hot tea and a book or knitting.  I love the festivals and events.

I do fear that this month is going to go by so quickly because it's a busy month as well.  Hopefully, I can combat that speed with a lot of pictures and blogging to remember my favorite time of the year.

White Centered Granny Blanket

And I have 80 squares complete

So I finished another section of my blanket.  I am so happy with how it is turning out (even with the different off-whites).  This is now at the stage where I can start to cover up with it while I am working on adding rows.  The blanket feels so heavy and warm and will look so lovely on the back of my couch.

All scrunched up!

I did start the next batch of squares.  Just 40 more squares to add.  I will have several extra and  I need to decide what to do with them.  I can add a 13th row or I can put them together for some matching pillows.  I think it will depend on how much I feel like doing when I get this all done.

Pretty!

I also did write up a post on how I created the randomness in my blanket using Excel.  Check it out and I hope it helps you to take the pressure of making a randomized design.

Winter's Coming

Pretty Snowflakes

Before the weather got cooler this week, we had one last blast of heat and humidity.  In the haze I thought making a snowflake would trick my brain into cooling down.  I don't know if it worked but I did enjoy this hexagon.  I think I am going to use this as a swatch for a fall dissertation from Nerd Wars.  I think it's a good enough project that I can get done with in 3 months in time for snow and Christmas.

In other projects things are progressing but nothing really to show.  Anyway, that was my week.  Hope yours is going well.

WIP Wednesday - Shifting Hues 5

Well the summer is winding down and next week I start back to Grad School.  I just can't believe how fast the time has gone.  In a little more than a month, I will be a bridesmaid in my friend Becky's wedding and then it will be Halloween, Thanksgiving and the Christmas.  EEEEEEEEE!

I can't think about that right now but I know it will be here before I know it.  Instead let's see what I got accomplished.

Hue Shift Afghan

Quadrant 2 - All finished

I finished the second quadrant or section of my Hue Shift Afghan.  This means that I am officially done with half of the blanket.  I love the section as a whole but think the dark royal row is the best of this section.  The coordinating colors just pop.  I do love the 2 yellows in the top left square because it's so happy and sunny.

The next section is similar to this one just constructed in a different order.  I started the next set of blocks but decided to put it down for a bit.  I worked on these 25 squares fairly consistently for July and August and I need a bit of a break.  During the time-out on this project, I hope this section relaxes because it's smaller than the first quadrant.  I may have to block these to make the quadrants the same size before I start on the border.

The 2 quadrants lined up

As you can see from the border, the right set of squares are a little bit smaller than the left set of squares.  I did tie these sections together but only loosely to help the smaller section to stretch.

White Centered Granny Blanket

Red and White Squares!

In the meantime, I have continued to work on these squares.  In fact I have almost all of the colors crocheted (Blue, Orange and Cinnamon remain).  Last night I reviewed my squares inventory sheet and realized I had enough colors to start on the next section.  I have 11/20 squares done with white borders now I need to work on the rest and weave in ends.  Hopefully next week I can show you more progress on this blanket.

Other Projects

I worked on Cherry Sundry and Happy Street this week but unfortunately, they are still in the stages where you cannot see any progress.  I should have more pictures next week now that the 2nd quadrant of hue shift is done. Other than that I have just been enjoying my last week before I start my hectic fall schedule.  

Anyway, that was my week.  Hope yours is going well.

WIP Wednesday - Fall Colors

Hello again, I cannot believe how fast August is passing.  Before you know it everyone will be back to school and fall really will be upon us.  Surprisingly enough this month has been cool, instead of hot and humid which just make me happier and want pumpkin everything.  Mmmm Pumpkin Spiced Latte!

As the weather gets cooler all I want to do is knit sweaters and crochet blankets.  Thankfully I still have a few of those in my WIP pile to keep me entertained.  However since I did recently finish my Tropical Ginger Hitchhiker, I started two new shawls that have a bit of a fall flavor to them.

Cherry Sundry

Lovely Cherry Red Yarn to make a lovely fall shawl.

I was drawn to the Sundry pattern because of the lovely middle section that looks like hounds tooth. I am nowhere near the patterned section yet but this lovely red is gearing my up for fall.  It has such lovely tonal qualities and is so vibrant and gorgeous that I stare more than I knit at times.

I can't wait to show you the brown color that is going to go with it.  It contains subtle flecks of gold, red, green and blue to make a lovely neutral with depth and character.  The yarn itself is Bugga! from Verdant Gryphon and I love it so far.

Happy Street 

Love the purple and greens!

I was utterly captivated by this pattern this spring.  I just wanted to make this cousin to color affection in the worst way.  It's bright colors were just calling to me.  I settled on a set of MissBabs Yummy to make this shawl.  The colors are Ghoulish, Impatiens and Impatient.  I love the bright purple, the lime green and the deep dark eggplant purple so far.

Hue Shift Afghan

Slow moving...

Alas, I have fallen in a bit of a funk with this project.  I think the last column is hardest but I will persevere and get this section done.

Anyway, that was my week.  Hope yours is going well.

WIP Wednesday - Shifting Hues 4

Hello all, another week has passed and I got some progress on my projects.  I am really thankful for WIP Wednesdays because not only do I get to update all of you on my knitting/crocheting progress but I get to have a weekly record of what's going on in my life.  I look back even on last year's posts and see what I was talking about.

The weather has stayed lovely but the longer it stays the more it makes me think of back to school and fall.  Not that I don't love those things but I am not ready to run to class 2X a week. It just makes life busy and less time for knitting.

Hue Shift Afghan

21 Squares complete on this block

Once again, this was one of the main focuses this week.  I just want to get this blanket done so I keep pushing and with the yellow and green block complete I have 51 blocks done.  Over half way there!

The yellow parts are my favorite

I am really happy with how this is coming along.  I really like all of the colors I picked and can't wait to put it together.


Other Projects

I did manage to bind off something and hope to have a FO post soon.  Since I got a project off of the needles, it was time to start 2 more.  I started Cherry Sundry and Happy Street which are lovely new shawls.  I can't wait to get more done to show you the awesome colors I picked.

Anyway, that was my week.  Hope yours is going well.

WIP Wednesday - So Close

Wow, what a week!  The weather has taken a turn for the better.  The humidity has drastically reduced and the temps are dipping into the 50s and 60s at night.  Which means great sleeping weather.  I have such a hard time sleeping in the summer because it's so hot.  Really I just want to snuggle under my duvet and be all cosy while the outside is cool.

Anyway, this week was a welcomed relief from the heat and humidity.  In fact it almost feels like fall is right around the corner.  I have had a lovely summer so far.  Fairly calm and relaxing but the fall brings class again, Becky's Wedding, pumpkin everything, fall leaves/colors and cool weather. Needless to say, fall is my favorite time of the year.  I can't wait.

Hue Shift Afghan

3 blues done, green and yellow left to go

This blanket is back in the rotation this week.  I honestly burnt myself out of crochet squares and jumped back to knit squares.  I think that's the beauty of having multiple things going on, I am always busy but I don't have to hate the thing I am working on.  So I got this section of the blanket almost done and I am just cruising along.

I am sort of disappointed in the sky blue because the colors just blend and don't stand out but I think as a whole the colors work together well.

Tropical Ginger Hitchhiker

So Close but not done yet.

While working on the Hue Shift Blanket I decided that I just wanted to get something done.  So I pulled this shawl out of it's project back and got back to work on.  I have 3 more teeth left to complete and my goal is to get it done before the end of the week.  I want to get something off the needles this summer and start something new.

Anyway, that was my week.  Hope yours is going well.
