Updated block pics

 I haven't been keeping up with my block pictures.  I posted February's block but here are the rest:

This is April

This is January.

This is March.

This last one is the May block.  I cut it out Saturday and got up early this morning and stitched it together.

Why hexies?

 

I don't know why!  But I saw this mini charm pack and went to town this past weekend.  Have no idea what to do with them.  I'm short two hexies so I need to look around and see if they are stuck in my bag.  What to do what to do with them!

Niece socks

Completed May 7. 2025

Left sock is the Hermione pattern. Right socks is the Jeck pattern.

Two sides of the same sock

The yarn is Tofutsies which is a splitting blend of soy silk, superwash wool. Cotton and chitin. It is knit over 64 stitches in the Hermione pattern with my usual toe and heel. I found the pooling/flashing exasperating and tried several patterns trying to get it to stop. I am knitting the second sock in the Jeck pattern. I think my niece will be amused by the change in pattern.  I do not like this yarn both for the color issue as well as overall splittyness.

Snap tray

Woke up far too early this morning and made a snap tray for my niece.  She's off to Japan on Saturday and these trays are so handy when traveling.

More border work

I was felled by the rampant oak pollen this weekend but managed to sit quietly and stitch on the borders!  I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
