WIP Wednesday…

Bee_socks_finished

As a person who usually has more than one project on the needles at a time, I feel as though I never get things finished…..but then all at once it comes together and I will have 2 or 3 items finished and it feels good!

Earlier this winter, I whipped thru my first Marie Antoinette with gusto and of course in my typical fashion managed to get side tracked with Oh!Canada and Bee.  I loved working on this sock so much though that when I did pick her up again, I whipped thru the second one.  These socks are completely fun to knit and so very pretty when finished.

I am really looking forward to wearing them this spring with open back clogs.

Bee
With Marie Antoinettes and Oh!Canada finished, Miss Bee now has my full attention.  I have finished the swarm area and will move onto the Bee and Honeycomb panel.

I do have to admit though that I have already been tempted my another siren…..this pattern has truly made my heart flutter a bit!

Snow….yes once again

Before I leave, I just wanted to share a picture of what our corner of the world looks like.  The snow this winter has been insane!! 

Last night another foot of snow was dumped on us with probably an additional 6 inches expected later in the day.

Let me tell you how sick of shoveling Ken is!  Can you believe that snowbank?  YIKES!

Keep warm!!

  1. I can’t believe the amount of snow! No wonder you’re sick of it. I find the same thing…nothing much gets finished for awhile and then everything on the needles comes together at once and you have a finishing flurry.

  2. Poor Ken! So does he have to shovel out a spot in the yard for the puppers to do their business too? The kids should carve out an igloo in that bank πŸ™‚ Love the socks and your unfolding Bee.

  4. Pretty, pretty socks! They’d be drenched in mud here. Cleaning up after dogs is yucky enough, but mud drenched poop is just ugly. I think I’d rather shovel snow.

  5. Wow that’s a lot of snow. My hubby shovels our snow, too, and he told me the other day that he can’t wait till our toddlers are big enough to do it for him!

  6. The socks are beautiful but HOLY COW! The SNOW! We thought there was a lot when we were up. My poor grandfather. I hope my cousins are up there helping him. There’s like 100 of them in the area (okay… I’m exaggerating but not by much). If they all go up and help he won’t have to shovel. Yuh. Right.

  7. What?! How can there be such a difference between you up there and me down here! Looking out my office window there’s about 1.5 feet built up out there and I thought that was a lot.

  8. I finally had to have someone with a tractor/frontloader come shove my snow back so my plow guy had room to maneuver….
    Isn’t Mim’s Flutter Scarf wonderful? I have it on my Ravelry queue, and I am drooling over your Bee Fields…
    It was good to see you at SPA last weekend. Next year, we need to have a margarita (or more) together. I stop shy of the table dancing, though.

  9. I have to tell you, I’m a little sick of this snow. How much longer?? My snowbank isn’t quite that large!! That sucker will be there until July!

  10. Oh, I almost forgot about the knitting! I was so taken by the snow! I love the socks. I’ve had my pattern for awhile, and I haven’t made them yet. They’re so great. The Flutter Scarf is really cute. I love that too. I had actually seen that on another blog. It’s making it’s rounds.

  11. The socks are really pretty! I’m glad I don’t have deal with all that snow. But, I might want to trade places with you when our extreme weather begins. Down here it’s heat and humidity…and it’s just around the corner.

  12. The socks are absolutely beautiful. Bet you can’t wait for spring (although you know finishing up lacey socks will just tempt Mother Nature to give you even more white stuff.)

  13. That’s some snowbank you’ve got going there. We’ve been in MN for 10 years now, and have yet to see one of the “legendary” winters that actually produces snow like that! I know you’re probably sick of it, but I’d love to see some “real” snow around here, so I’m glad to see some places still get winter wonders. πŸ™‚

  14. That snowbank is amazing! You must have taken your wheel out of a door on another side of the house to get to Spa… πŸ˜‰

  15. Hi Kim,
    Your bee socks are gorgeous! I can’t wait to start mine. It was really nice to meet you at SPA.
    And I can’t stop thinking of that Black Velvet!
    Winter can’t last forever!

  17. I can completely relate! Though we haven’t had as much snow as you are getting, we have had nearly 100 inches here, which is a record breaker for this area. I want tulips!!! Hope you are well, all things considered. πŸ™‚
