Knitting All The Things

 I just want to knit everything, and not what I should be.  Have you ever had this happen to you?  When this happens, I find that I have to just knit what I want to, otherwise, I'm not a happy knitter.

So, this IS what I am knitting right now~

I'm three weeks behind on this MKAL, technically it is no longer a Mystery KAL, but I still have good intentions to finish it by the end of the month. The pattern is by Chit Chat Knits, called Better Than Fiction.  I am knitting it out of Heritage Sock yarn in some nice Fall colors.


Also, knitting on a Test Knit for Beth Macdonald Stone, Get Out of the Pool Tee.  It is not due to come out until January 3rd, and really is a tee for next Summer, but I am having fun with this new to me yarn from my local yarn shop, The Fiber Universe.  Nice part of this knit is that it is all garter, down side, I have to sew it up.  Eventually.  But, it is a great knit for when I just want to knit.


I'm also doing what I am calling Fiber Fridays, working with fibers that I only knit with when I dream of Knitting Camp or traveling to Shetland, using wooly wools.  The first goal is to finish this up as it is a 2 year standing WIP (the Burra Cowl), but also getting back into the groove of knitting with other fibers that are not all squishy and soft.


And to get myself ready to tackle this one in the new year!!  


I'm super excited to start it in January, using a heavier Shetland yarn and actually doing a whole garment in colorwork, not just a yoke.

There are others on the needles that I have been playing around with, I'll share them at a later date.
Until then Knit Something Fun and always what you want!!
