I am up to the neck shaping now, sooooo close to being done.
The next dilemma comming up is the neck. I am not sure if I want to go with the funnel neck in the pattern or if I will change it to a ribbed roll neck.
Any thoughts?
I started the Madder Ribbed Socks from Knitting Vintage Socks - Nancy Bush
The yarn is Hot Socks by Lincraft. While not a spectacular yarn it is a ginormous improvement over spotlight's adore yarn.
I am enjoying this, it is ribbed, but not so ribbed that it is killing my hands ribbed.
Recent discussions about random balls of yarn and teaching a friend to crochet has inspired be to pick up the hook again.
This will be a scrappy blanket.
Blues, blacks, greys.
No particular method or order in colour sequence - I will keep going till I am either sick of using a particular colour or run out.
No timeframe for finishing.
Simply a way to make use of those random balls of yarn that aren't enough to make anything out of.

Wish I had the desire to work all those scraps into a blanket. But blankets just wear me out!
I think rolled neck with ribbing. But it's your neck!
What is your favourite neckline? Will you be wearing anything underneath that should/n't peek over the edge? Either way 'twill be a very elegant (dare I say 'chic'???) knit - nice work!
And the scrappy blanket - must surely beat garter-stitch stripes for using up those random balls!
Still jealous of your access to Lincraft, and have fingers in my ears going la-la-la about adore sock yarn - I have two skeins to use up....
But that's ok. If I hate it, my son's not fussy!!! *evil grin*
