for good fitting socks for my foot and then after a Saturday night Zoom, why not try rib in the arch of the foot?!
I pulled a store bought sock that I wear all the time in my tennies, and decided to look at duplicating how they cinch in the arch and matched it up to a hand knit sock so I could get some measurements to duplicate.
Had a wonderful 11 days with family and grandkids in Florida. Here is just a few of the pics from our vacay. I'll be back with regular knitting in a couple of days.
Another beautiful day here at chez PJKnits and I uploaded Episode 136 on You Tube to talk about getting ready for Summer knit wearing. You can watch it by clicking here
Actually, Spring doesn't start until the 20th, but we've had some great weather that I have been taking advantage of the front porch during the afternoons. We only have a couple more days like this, until the cooler temps come back, but still not Winter temps, and I am okay with that.
This was yesterday. I wasn't 100% ready for this kind of warmth, so I grabbed my car knitting project, Musselburgh #6 to knit on.
Today, it was a tad breezy, but still warm on the porch, and I was a little bit more prepared with my knitting ( I started a new project, that I will blog about later this week). Before I started knitting I did take a little look around to find some signs of real Spring to add to the picture today.
I had my sweater on for a bit, but soon the sun was a bit warm so I shed it til next year.
I hope a bit of Spring is coming your way!
Vertices Unite is done, well, at least the first one is and I loved knitting this one that I am definitely thinking about another in some brights!
It is part of the "Unite" KAL I am hosting until the Makers Meetup in July, join in anytime! My yarns are more from deep PYS, purchased at Stitches Midwest, somewhere around 2018. I remember buying the yarns off of the rack in the Yarn Culture Booth, just liking them hanging as they were.
And here we are all these years later with a shawl that I am totally loving how they all came together.
Have a good weekend!!
But there is a Finished Object to share today. Musselburgh #5 from deep PYS.
I had a skein of stripe and a skein of the solid and wanted to see what a half and half Musselburgh Hat looked like.
Two of my friends a few years back gave me some Emma's Yarn as presents. One was her sock yarn, the other a skein of mohair. Both of them in the Riptide color way. I kicked around several ideas the last couple of months and settled on a bit of an ensemble.
First up Cooma Cowl, using some of both of the sock and mohair yarn.
Please hop on over to the PJKnits You Tube channel for the latest episode. I'm cleaning out my Winter Sweaters and want to tell you about the ones that are going to be donated and why.

It's crazy out there, and I am hoping you dear reader are weathering it with your knitting!
For a few days this week, there has been sunshine and warmer days and impromptu knitting on the porch!
With some finished objects I will share next week on the podcast and next Friday here, but here is a glimpse of just knitting and coffee and letting the world stop for a bit.
I hope your knitting is bringing you some easy moments while we Choose Joy!!
There is a few this Friday that I have been saving for Friday Finishes.
First up is a test knit that I started last year for Beth Macdonald Stone, Get Out of the Pool Tee DK Version. Knit in pieces with the intention to omit pooling in the knit. This was a fun knit to watch as my yarn colors emerged from the skein.
