Punkin Head Firestarters

Hi all! I'm finally getting around to posting pics of my finished Firestarters:


These were fun to knit and it was lovely to see all of your finished Firestarters for inspiration. More pics and info can be found here. Thanks! Tiennie

Whew, finally a chance to post!

I finished the sock for my HSS pal a couple weeks ago -- I love how it came out! And although I was stressed that I couldn't finish one for myself first (in case I made any mistakes, etc), it's actually better that I didn't -- because now I can see what mods I want to make to my own pair. More about that later, though - here's the pic of the one I finished in STR Metamorphic:


I hope she loves it as much as I do!

Happy New Year, all!

Bonjour

Hello everyone,

I'm glad to have join this great KAL, I had a look on your knitted Firestarters, and I wanted to knit them as well, so here I am, just the toe, I will work on it this week, and I will show you how it goes, the yarn is some regia socks yarn (I lost the label, hum in fact put it in the bin without consideration shame on me).

Have a great knitting time.

My second pair is done, too!

I'm definitely still addicted to this pattern even though this colorway doesn't really do it for me.

I've posted a wrap up on my blog, two knits of ivory.

My second pair are done!

I love how my Wollmeise Rhabarber knits up. It feels divine.


The only problem I had this time around is that I seemed to get some laddering when I picked up the gusset stitches (both on the p2tog & k2tbl sides) and I don't know why. I didn't have this issue with my STR medium weight pair.

usual details:

Judy's magic cast on

72 st count

extra cable repeat in the foot

size 2.25 & 2.50 mm (US 1 & "1.5") Knitpick circulars

But I'm not done w/the Firestarter! I also picked up Yarnissima's adorable XS Firestarter kit to make at least 1 mini-Firestarter ornament. The only question now is when I'll get to it.

Finally some socks to show for.

I've been slowly working away on these socks. I have to frog the first one because it's a tad to lose and long and well, the second one I made a booboo and did not pay attention to the heel flap pattern, but with some mods it fits well so I'm just gonna stick with the mistakes. So these will be my semi-firestarters. hehhe :)




I'm sticking to it because I don't think I can take anymore frogging.


Here the two are hanging out and the left one is saying goodbye to the right one. hehe

Fiery Rhubarb

One down, one to go.

It seems like the gusset took forever for me. Plus I kept making mistakes with the purl increases (wrong round, wrong side) and had to keep fixing them.

But it's worth it! I love how the Wollmeise feels knitted up. Love it.

Deets so far:
