Knitting Progress

I had an interesting knitting weekend. I made lots of progress on the second green Stulpen. At the same time, I worked on the red scarf too. Sometimes I would lay one down and the pick up the other, then eventually switch back. Usually, I'm so monogamous with my knitting, I can barely work on two projects in a weekend let alone two in one sitting.

These projects are so different, when I needed a break from cables, I worked on lace and when I needed a break from lace, I worked on cables. I never seemed to get tired of knitting. It was great.

This is the first Stulpen of the pair. It's knit in Brooks Farm Acero. The first 15 rows of ribbing were knit on size 2's, the rest of the mitt was knit on 1's. I messed up after the thumb opening and rather than casting on two for the ribbing I decreased two. But it still fits fine and I have big hands so I think it's going to be OK. I'll do the same thing on the second for the sake of symmetry.

I'm down to 10 repeats on the red scarf then it's the ruffle and blocking. Since I don't normally make the kind of knitting progress I made this weekend, I'm still several weeks out on the scarf, but the end is in sight.
