participate in Project Spectrum

Ahh, busy summer, but I finished a project for August! The color was neutrals/b&w. I made a cap…I have no name for it, but it reminds me of something that crosses Reggae with French beret. Hehe. The yarn is multi colored…brown, tan, dark green, and dark orange. I don’t even know what the technical names of the colors are, or what type of yarn it is. I just found it in my closet =D

I have decided that I will not unravel Lakes, but keep it the way it is. Therefore I sewed up the sleeve seams and the sweater is now ready to be worn. I might need to loose a few pounds for it to look it’s best, but it does look okay and those pounds need to go anyway.

I like the feel of it even if I still do not like the crab stitch crochet around the neckline. It fits and looks nice with my 7/8th Jeans.

I unraveled the blue socks as they were coming out too small and have started them again with a different pattern from Nancy Bush’s Vintage Socks.

While watching soccer yesterday afternoon I finally finished my Rapid River socks. When counting out the repeats on the first sock I realized two things: I made two different heels and there is one mistake in decreasing that is hardly noticable. As they are for me I left it. They look good and I look forward to wearing them next fall.

So one goal for Blue month June has been reached.

My CeCe is up to the arms and I have to knit the sleeves before I can continue with the main piece.

I seamed up May’s sweater as well. It now only needs the crochet finish at the neckline and a wash and block. I want to wear it soon, so this should be done this week.

I have finished knitting my green sweater and will sew it up soon. For June I am planning to knit a turquois CeCe, unravel my blue sweat shirt like sweater, finish my blue River Rapids socks and decide what to do with my Lakes sweater. I fear some unraveling is looming in my future there too.

This is a project where each month has a color scheme and you do what ever craft you enjoy in this color. May is green. I have actually started a gree short sleeved sweater in May, so I am on track.
