I'm doing the initials on the second Sanquhar gloves and hope to finish them by the end of the weekend. I'm getting a lot of knitting done with all the exciting extra-inning baseball games. I've decided to also make some Sanquhar socks. I have some J&S jumper weight yarn in black and white that I purchased to make another pair of gloves but I want to try socks instead.
Speaking of future projects, Mare has inspired me as usual. (She's the reason I went back and worked on the Lucy Neatby Paradoxical mittens.) She's now swatching the mitten pattern as a Paradoxical sweater! I was thinking of the striped hat on the cover of Vibeke Lind's Knitting in the Nordic Tradition done as a Paradoxical hat. I'll see what yarn I have that would work.
I've started on the Halloween socks. I adore Blackberry Ridge's yarn and their kits but the colors for the Halloween socks are brown and copper. I can live with the brown but had to substitute some orange from the stash for the pumpkins. Fortunately I have a lot of orange worsted weight yarn from making all those Bunnies & Carrots hats.
