WIPs Wednesday 5/21

So this week I have been working on my OWL, my mission, and finishing up a pair of socks.  I had two good hours while I was waiting for my oil change to work on my Dr. Who scarf.  I have 17 finished stripes and am currently working on the 18th.

I received many compliments on the scarf colors, when I told them it was the Dr. Who scarf, not a single person had heard of Dr. Who.  I was shocked. I guess when you hang out with people who are in to so many fandoms it is strange when there are people who have never heard of them.  I get that many people may not know about the specific scarf, but to have never heard of the show at all seems crazy to me!  

I also cast on my first true colorwork project.  I have been avoiding trying it out because it just seemed too intimidating.  I am doing a swap where we make different items each month for our partner and at the end of the year we give them a big box of handmade goodies.  My partner likes colorwork mitts, so I decided to give it a try.

I am not attempting to hold the yarn in a special way, but am just twisting the yarns on the inside when I switch.  I keep trying them on to make sure my floats are not too tight.  

Last but not least I have been working on my Chiron socks.  I am to the middle of the foot so they should be finished today or tomorrow!

I've been trying to knit on my Adrift for most of the week.  I am 32 rows away from knitting the sleeves.  Once the sleeves are done I'll be at the halfway point!

Other than my sweater, I have an HO.  I just finished the first Van Gogh sock and am about to cast on the second sock.
