Projects in the works:
Guernsay Wrap. I love Jared Flood. This yarn and pattern were birthday gifts. The yarn is Madeline Tosh Toshmerino DK in the Fig colorway. So gorgeous. It’s a fast knit.
A peek at the yarn:
Also on the needles, some lacy socks. These are further along–stalled out for some reason. I want to finish them before Christmas. (Dayflower Socks, yarn: Dream in Color Smooshy, Wisterious colorway)
Some cozy wool socks for Val. (Toe-up in BMFA Socks that Rock medium weight, Arctic colorway.) I’m quite a bit further than this photo indicates. I turned the heel the other night and am a couple of inches up the leg. Truthfully? I started them for me but they’re turning out huge so I had Val try them on last night and it fit him, a little snugly but I think it’ll work. Cinderella socks. Or I guess that should be “Cinderfella socks”.
Not pictured is the Travelling Woman shawl I’m making for the charter school auction. It’s coming along nicely but I haven’t photographed it yet.
Wild Potatoes 
Oh WOW! that looks like it will be a lovely shawl? / scarf? – I am still not too familiar with Jared Flood’s designs.
Molly, it’s a wide scarf. I’m thinking I want it a little wider than it will block out to be, though, so I’m contemplating frogging it and starting over.
Love the “Hot Iron” caddy thing – is there an actual pattern? Not really sure I would ever even use one, … but it is so pretty!! Great job!
The pattern is called Caddy Pad by Sister’s Common Thread. Here’s a link: http://www.connectingthreads.com/Patterns/Caddy_Pad_Pattern__D55622.HTML. It’s pricey but it comes with the heat-resistant fabric. It was fun and easy to make. The best part was picking out the buttons. I have a ton of vintage buttons and it took me a long time to settle on these.
Thanks so much! Not sure that I really have a “need” for it (don’t often travel with a large iron!), but it is SO pretty! Thanks for responding! – Jackie S.
