New WIPs

Oh, I had a busy week.  I worked long hours, and even the past two Saturdays!  But I think my classroom is ready for children (the new ones start on Wednesday), and I'm quite satisfied with that.  I haven't been doing much else, but I have gotten in a few rows on my new project every evening.

 

This is Dulce de Leche, in about the same color as the original sweater!  I feel like I don't have very much done, but I'm going to be increasing after the waist soon, which is reasonably far along. I have a feeling this will be a favorite sweater when I finish this!

I also started a new pair of socks, Leyburns,  to knit while I was in Amsterdam.  I made a fair amount of progress while I was there (and on the plane back), but I haven't really worked on them since.

 

David bought this yarn for me while he was in Duluth this summer.  He went to Yarn Harbor on his way to the airport to fly back home.  He got there about 15 minutes before it opened, and asked if he could come in early to get some yarn for his wife before he flew home! They were very nice to him :)

The socks are pooling, but David likes it when yarn pools, so it's fine with me.

 

They're also fun to knit!

Ooh, yum, check out that purple yarn! Looks wonderful. I'm glad to hear you are getting some knitting time in amongst all that work. I am sure your teaching will go so much better thanks to all the work you are putting in. All the best for the new school year.

Yarn Harbor is really a lovely spot, with lovely people. It's not that far from my grandmother's house! What is the sock yarn?

Dulce is on my 'need to knit soon' list, can't wait to see how yours turns out!

I recently knit some Leyburns as well, they were fun.

Oh the socks are so cute!

Dulce de Leche is a lovely pattern. Are you knitting it out of the 1/2 and 1/2 yarn? My biochemist's brain can't figure out how they spun milk protein into a yarn.
