Chart C is done.

I’ve just finished Chart C for the Mystery Stole and this is how it’s looking, albeit badly pinned out. I’m having a hard time making the pinning look good when I can’t pull it out to full width, but I really like working on the small circulars so I can either be frustrated while photographing the stole or frustrated while knitting it…. the latter definitely not being a good option.

This means I can now work on this week’s Chart and that I’m essentially ‘caught up’ to the group. I think I’m going to put it down for a couple of days but I should still be finished the next chart by Friday when the next clue is released… albeit the printed version doesn’t get here until Friday evening when Joey comes home with it. (He’s so good to print them out for me) :)

Meanwhile, I cast on my new Jitterbug socks. I think I needed some colour in my life…. I’m so not an off-white person so all these off-white projects are starting to melt my poor little brain so I thought these would add a bit of colour to my life. Besides, I was in need of a new travelling project and this wool has been screaming to worked.

I’m really liking to Colinette Jitterbug yarn so far. It’s a nice weight (I’m knitting on 2.5mm needles), I love how it’s spun, I love the colour and the fabric is knitting up really nicely. I’m not quite so pleased with the number of knots I found when winding the ball, but I’ve heard other knitters have had the same issues with this yarn. It’s a pity… I think it’s this yarn’s only downfall so far.
