What’s Knitting?

November 20, 2007 By Carole

So, apparently Kim is worried that bloggers aren’t showing their knits in progress these days. Seems that perhaps there is a trend towards waiting until a project is finished and then having a great unveiling. Well, I’ll admit to that having done that several times but I wouldn’t consider it a habit.

And, to prove my point, here are today’s works in progress:

mittens_blue_small.jpg
Mittens. One completed, one in progress. Okay, so the only part left is the thumb, but they aren’t done so that counts, right? These are for Knit Unto Others, of course.

lucys_sock.jpg
Socks. Because, you know, there are always always socks in progress here at Carole Knits.

And that’s all I’m working on this week. Which means, if you’ve been paying attention, that Hannah’s Central Park Hoodie is done. I never showed you progress photos, did I? Whoops.

cph_blocking.jpg
Okay, here’s a blocking photo. Does that count?

    That looks FANSTASTIC — you are motivating me to get mine done (after some more pressing knitting). Of course, I look forward to seeing the modeled shots! Your other WIPS look great too.

    She’ll show us some action shots, right!? It’s going to be so cute on her. What yarn did you use for the mitten. I need to pick up something washable and warm…Wool Ease?

    I can’t wait to see how it looks on her! I love that sweater, it’s in my queue!

  4. Dave Daniels says

    November 20, 2007 at 7:43 am

    WOW! Hannah’s sweater is going to look fantastic on her. VERRRRRRY nice, Carole.

  5. Kim says

    November 20, 2007 at 7:51 am

    Wow….Carole the hoodie is fantastic!! I can’t wait to see Hannah modeling it!!

    Thanks for the WIP pics!

    I love Hannah’s Hoodie!!!

  7. Kate says

    November 20, 2007 at 7:57 am

    I was wondering where that hoodie went, but then I thought “uh, oh… what if it’s “not a good subject” at Chez Carole y Dale?” Glad to see it is blocking—- is the recipient dying to try it on?

  8. Emily says

    November 20, 2007 at 7:57 am

    All I’ve GOT lately is knits in progress! No pressure from me for a Big Reveal, Kim!

    I heart the hoodie!

    Sweeet mittens, and love the ca-razy socks, the CPH though, now that’s a Beauty!

    YOU’VE been busy!!!
    🙂
    It all looks wonderful…
    (((hugs)))

  11. Kristi aka Fiber Fool says

    November 20, 2007 at 8:36 am

    Ooo, I can’t wait to CPH modeled! Drying/blocking counts as WIP, doesn’t it? 🙂

  12. Susan says

    November 20, 2007 at 8:40 am

    You know, I’m guilty of wanting to show the finished product and not posting progress on projects. I posted some WIP pics last week, I think, so I’ll try to get back in the habit of showing my progress.

    Love your projects! The hoodie is hot!

  13. sprite says

    November 20, 2007 at 9:17 am

    Both the WIPs and the FO look great! Congrats!

  14. jillian says

    November 20, 2007 at 9:25 am

    I definitely do that with smaller projects! I mean to pose about it, a couple days go by, and then I think it would be more interesting if I just wait until I’m done! Can’t wait to see Hannah in her CPH, it looks great and cuddly in that warm classic grey!

  15. Birdsong says

    November 20, 2007 at 9:46 am

    Hannah will be stylin’ in that! I just can’t keep up with posting every step, and sometimes things look so undecipherable in their beginning stages that it hardly seems it would be exciting to anyone.

  16. Wool Winder says

    November 20, 2007 at 9:49 am

    There is always a pair of socks on the needles at my house too. The mittens are really cute. Love the color. And the hoodie turned out great. Can’t wait to see it modeled.

  17. Jessica says

    November 20, 2007 at 9:56 am

    I tend to show progress pics, but I do think I’ve cut back on them a bit lately. That was a quick CPH! Looks great! 🙂

  18. ann says

    November 20, 2007 at 10:02 am

    the hoodie looks wonderful! I haven’t been showing progress picks because my projects these days are gift items….. which makes for boring blogging!

  19. Teresa says

    November 20, 2007 at 10:03 am

    I love seeing works in progess. It makes you feel like you’re apart of the growing process of making something beautiful. I guess I like to see the evolution of things. Of course, posting it is something different, I’m so afraid that it will become a U.F.O. that happens to float around my home. 😀 My daughter would love those socks!

  20. elizabeth says

    November 20, 2007 at 10:08 am

    Wow, that hoodie was a fast knit! Can’t wait to see it modeled!

    I think it’s people’s perogative whether or not they show WIP pics. I mean, it is their blog, right?

  21. Lucia says

    November 20, 2007 at 10:18 am

    Hey, it all counts. I’ve been knitting nothing but squares lately, and I’m about ready to cast on some socks. Of course I already have some on needles, but I also have an idea rolling around my head that I want to try out. (What with all that rolling, it’s hard to concentrate on anything else.)

  22. Leah says

    November 20, 2007 at 10:20 am

    Hannah’s Hoodie is lovely! I can’t wait to see the great unveiling/modeling by your cute daughter.

    And those are some seriously bright socks!

  23. Cheryl S. says

    November 20, 2007 at 10:32 am

    Love the hoodie! I was just thinking over the weekend that I’d like to make mine in something brown-ish or taupe-ish.

  24. Kirsten says

    November 20, 2007 at 11:12 am

    Heh, I’m afraid I am often guilty of that.
    Love those aqua mittens. They looks so warm and squishy!

  25. Danielle says

    November 20, 2007 at 11:17 am

    I wish I showed more WIPs. This time of year makes it so hard to get decent photos because of the darkness. And really, who wants to show their beautiful handknits in a blurry, dark photo?

  26. Teyani says

    November 20, 2007 at 11:25 am

    central park hoodie blocking still counts as in progress (grin) ’cause we all know that the next photo will be that gorgeous girl of yours modeling it (another grin).
    I’ll show some wip’s soon – my camera JUST got back from the repair factory (yippee)

  27. Karen says

    November 20, 2007 at 11:26 am

    I definitely don’t show as many progress pictures as I used to either. Of course, I don’t post as much as I used to either, so that may be why.

    Everything looks great. You really zipped through Hannah’s sweater!

  28. Karen says

    November 20, 2007 at 11:32 am

    Lovely mittens and very cute socks. Hannah’s sweater is beautiful!! I look forward to the modeling shot.

  29. Kat with a K says

    November 20, 2007 at 11:55 am

    The sweater looks great! I think the holidays may cut down on WIP pictures – I don’t want my gift recipients seeing things!

  30. Joanne says

    November 20, 2007 at 12:40 pm

    I love the hoodie. What yarn did you use for the hoodie?

  31. Manise says

    November 20, 2007 at 12:43 pm

    Hannah’s CPH looks womderful! Looking forward to the photo shoot. What mitten pattern are you using?

  32. Julie says

    November 20, 2007 at 1:01 pm

    Cute little mittens. The CPH looks great (and yes, blocking does count as a WIP). I also can’t wait to see Hannah modeling it.

  33. Judy says

    November 20, 2007 at 1:03 pm

    Love the hoodie. Can’t wait to see the modeled shots.

  34. JessaLu says

    November 20, 2007 at 1:18 pm

    Yay it’s done! I’m guessing that the pattern showed up. ;o)

    I’m guilty of a lack of WIP photos lately – okay for a long time now. I guess the lack of sunlight is getting to me since the thought of photos just makes me feel tired.

  35. Cookie says

    November 20, 2007 at 1:33 pm

    I think I have what JessaLu has. Plus lace in progress isn’t very attractive, ya know? Unlike mittens.

    Can’t wait to see Hannah model her sweater. It’s just beautiful, Carole. Well done!

  36. Anne says

    November 20, 2007 at 1:40 pm

    Wow, you are prolific!!

  37. BigAlice says

    November 20, 2007 at 4:50 pm

    Dang, all done!? Already!? You are a knitting powerhouse, woman! It looks beautiful. (and it goes without saying there will always be socks, right? 🙂

  38. ~Kristie says

    November 20, 2007 at 6:24 pm

    Glad to see what you’re working on. It is true that we do usually only show FO’s. I do enjoy seeing a WIP photo now & then though. Keep em coming.

    By the way, the color of those mittens are so cheery. Someone will LOVE them!

  39. Kristine says

    November 20, 2007 at 7:10 pm

    I love the CPH, so cute! I’m sure your daughter will love it too! Do you have a pattern for the mittens? I would love to make some for the homeless people that live near my office.

  40. Debi says

    November 20, 2007 at 9:27 pm

    I hope hope hope the rumor is true…that knitting daily is sharing the CPH with everyone! Plus sizing too!! So we all can knit a lovely hoodie like yours Carole!

    I often don’t show progress pics cause sometimes they look the same until they are done!

  41. susan says

    November 21, 2007 at 12:41 am

    Kim shamed me into showing a WIP, too.

  42. Leslie says

    November 21, 2007 at 8:38 am

    Oh, wow, that hoodie is awesome!

  43. Lisa says

    November 21, 2007 at 10:04 am

    Awesome knits!! So when do you start a sweater for you 🙂 (yes, just call me a troublemaker…LOL)!

  44. Lynne says

    November 21, 2007 at 3:04 pm

    Nice, nice, and nicely done! Thanks for sharing your knits!
