Sometime it's better to cut your losses

I have been working on this Charlotte's Web (from Knits from a Painter's Palette: Modular Masterpieces in Handpainted Yarns) for a while now, and the more I looked at it the more I became convinced that I do not like that solid purple (Zinfandel) with the other two colorways, so yesterday I decided to cut my losses: rip rip rip .....

Really?

I have been back for 2 weeks and I haven't posted anything yet? Summer days do fly by, maybe I should imitate Susan and establish here a policy of Five on Friday too.

Anyway, do I have 5 things to report? Let's see.


Pattern: Oak Ribbed Socks
Yarn: Baby og Hosegarn
Ravelry project page here

I started these sock on plane to Amsterdam and I completed them few days before coming back. As all the patterns from Knitting Vintage Socks, I love them!


Pattern: Yarrow Ribber Socks
Yarn: Poems Socks
Ravelry project page here

Hollis got her her first shipment of this sock yarn last February at Stitches West, and I immediately grabbed a skein: among the long color run sock yarns, this is definitely my favorite!


Pattern: Jaywalker
Yarn: Regia Canadian Color
Ravelry page here

Yes, I did start another Jaywalker, my default sock pattern, on the plane ride back home.

I did work on my Sugar Maple Shawl and I happy to report that I have to finish the last repeat, knit the border (the orginal pattern did not have a border, but I have decided to add one) and then I am done!

The Purple Charlotte was completely neglected, but I started my first Pi Shawl (so much for NaKniWweMoDo!)
