WIP….Friday?

I just can’t get the day of the week posts to come out right these days….

It should be FO Friday, but that would require a finished object, and I have none to report. Nada. Nichts. I do, however, have several Works In Progress that I am willing to share with you, so…here goes!

First up, a pair of socks for the Irishgirlieknits group KAL on Ravelry.
Pattern: Sweet Home (by Irishgirlieknits, of course)
Yarn: Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock, Grumperina colorway
Needles: KnitPicks Classic Circs, size 1

This is my second start on these, as the original yarn/needle combination didn’t suit me at all.

My Grumpy Sweet Homes

I love the pattern. No surprise there. It would likely be better shown off with a semi-solid yarn instead of this highly veriagted one, but no matter; they are for me and I like them!
Progress to date: nearly done with first cuff (not enough knitting time lately)

My second WIP fits the category of “and now for something completely different”!
I started it at Knit Night tonight…(Thurs) just in case I needed some help, which, surprise, surprise, I did.

I know, it doesn’t look very square yet, does it? If all goes well it will by the end. My friend, The Yarnian, posted (and linked to) a month long challenge on Wednesday. Hooked on Handmade is hosting a CAL for the month of May. I haven’t decided if I will officially join or not…but I am intrigued. A CAL involves using something not in my usual comfort zone.

Non-pointy stick (singular)!

Yup…I’ll be hooking as well as needling if I don’t give up in frustration! There are Rav links, and Facebook links, and cute little buttons you can add to your blog if you want to play along…and it looks rather fun. So…do you think I can/should do this? Who else is in?
