Casapinka is a designer whose work I love and she’s doing a mystery knit along. I think the first clue came out Friday. I say “I think” because I haven’t looked at the clue, nor have I looked at the spoilers on Facebook to see what others are doing.
With any knit along, especially a mystery knit along, I spend more time trying to decide what yarn to use than knitting but I seem to rarely finish anything these days anyway.
With Camp Loopy to finish up in August, the packing I should be doing, the numerous trips to Missouri . . what’s the last thing I should be doing? Starting a new knitting project!
As of this minute, these are the colors I intend to use. Top row – the red is Madelinetosh Sock/color is Tart. The gold is Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock/color is Patina. Bottom row – the light aqua is Teal Torch Knits Sock/color is Calm Before the Storm. The blue is Dream in Color Smooshy with Cashmere/color is Atomic Blue.
The red Madelinetosh Sock yarn is some I bought in 2012 so it’s definitely time it got used. It feels good using yarn from the stash!

I’m doing this one too! Second guessed my colors, ripped back to the first section and started over last night. Don’t know that I’ll keep up with it either, but I’ll give it a try! I looked at all the pictures before starting, wanted to make sure I liked it!

You are right…it does feel good to use from the stash. I don’t knit…I quilt…and I keep track every year on Fabric In and Fabric Out. This year so far is 75 yds Out and 13 yds In. So far this is the best year out of the 8 I’ve been doing this. I showed Toby my chart, he looked at my stash and said “From where”? I don’t see the reduction anywhere either…lol.
Sara Fridley says
Yes – it’s fabric for me too! Half the fun for me is choosing fabrics for a new project. A quilting friend is always reminding me to “enjoy the journey” and don’t worry so much about the destination. So just enjoy your knitting time because it probably relieves stress surrounding the packing/moving situation.

Beautiful colors

I’m doing this one too! The clues come out on Friday and it’s supposed to be a fun knit and not stress if you don’t keep up since there’s always a lagalong group for the folks who have life happen. She also says that variations from the pattern are mods or design elements. Your colors look great.
Karen says
I’m in also. Haven’t started yet – we were out of town for a few days with intermittent internet coverage. I’ll wind the yarn and get started this week. I love her patterns so it should be a fun knit.
Nelle Coursey says
That is very interesting! I love the colors! Can’t wait to see what comes out!
