WIP Wednesday

Hello knitters.

I hope you are all having a wonderful Wednesday! It is a cloudy, rainy and cold morning in WI. I have a case of "startistis." I cannot stop casting on new projects! I love the first few rows to see how the yarn unfolds and knits up. How beautiful the stitches look when melting together through the colorway. Pure Bliss.
I bought this yarn while in Wausau, WI. I love how the purple and grey switch every row. The yarn is extremely delicate and light weight so I decided to go with a size 0 needle. I am hoping to wear them for the winter in 2017! :) Realistic goals for size 0 projects.


This yarn is a bit heavier weight. I decided I needed something to cast on that could be done a bit faster and on bigger needles. It is so bright and fun with large variations in color! I am so excited to see how the finished sock knits up. This yarn was purchased 2 years ago in Minoqua WI when I was visiting family. This yarn is from a German company called Schoppel. I forgot the colorway #.
This sock is for a dear friend graduating from med school this year. I am so proud and excited for her. She is amazing and very strong. I am hoping to finish these by May. However, with my current "startitis" this may not happen. :)

I am not sure what to read right now. I am looking for some "feel good" books. Nothing too deep; just something fun. Suggestion?

Linking up with Ginny today. I cannot wait to see what all of you have on needles!!!! :)

    I have to start by apologizing for not commenting on your recent posts. I have also been experiencing significant depression, and I just didn't know how to begin. You know I'm right here in Madison, so let me know if you want to get together to knit and compare notes: deborah.kades@gmail.com

    The sock looks awesome! Your yarn is so pretty! We have a specialty yarn shop a little ways from me, but I never make it there, perhaps I should make more if an effort!

    Startitis is a problem of mine as well. Nothing better than casting on a new project.... And then another... And then another. = )
    But life's short, right? ALL THE KNITTING!
