Nuclear Knits: Where knitting is the bomb!

Well I had knitting for my Chicago trip planned - but that didn't really happen. So here has been my car/rv/home project. It is the somewhat cowl sweater. It is done except for the cowl part. I swear knitting 6 inches of rib might kill me. I've been working on it for the past two weeks. My goal - to finish this bad bitch!!

I my attempt to finish up WIP and dominate all UFOs in my house I pulled the leaf quilt back out. I finished 99% of the curved parts and started assembling the blocks. Each block is suppose to have a steam near the leaf. The first three I did following the instructions and I hated how it cam out. So, I pulled the steams and am just going with the leafs. I'm sure I wont finish this up any time soon - but at least I'm making slow progress.

So I finished the actually quilting of the king quilt this weekend. Methow approves of the quilt (and spent more of her time sleeping on it). Now to find binding that goes, cut the binding, trim the outer quilt and assemble. Sounds fast and easy huh?

Another FO to report. This was June's Mystery 220. Project Details: Turns out this is Infinitely Simple Lace Infinity Scarf. I used Jo Sharp alpaca kid luster yarn. I bought 2 skeins of the yarn to see if I liked it. I'm glad I used it for a small project and didn't buy a ton of it, because it really doesn't have a very good feeling to it. I started on June 5th and finished on June 17th. It took 2 skeins, which works out to be 242 yards. Interesting design - I'm not sure I would have picked up this pattern had it not been a mystery!

This is what I worked on yesterday!!

Roving. Singles. So I finally finished spinning something again. Go figure right? Well this is 400 yards of what used to be Fingering weight (but after washing it it puffed up again). I did lace/fingering singles and then plyed it. Colorway Sea Side Town from Serenity Stitches . Mix of 75% merino and 25% nylon (superwash). My plan was to design a pair of socks with this - but now with the new poof I'm not sure I want to. I've decided I'm a bit done with superwash spinning for a while. I need something that keeps it shape!

Mystery 220 for June. I have no idea what it is - guessing a neck cowl of some kind. That or a steering wheel cover. Jill and I have decided to knit with a bit of Noro. Neither of us have used it before. We picked a toe up sock pattern as our first.
