This week I was able to finish two projects. I’m spending so much time sitting and waiting for my ankle to heal I’m getting a lot of knitting done.
First up, I finished a double knit trivet for my mom. She requested one, so I immediately got started (she usually only asks for finished objects). It took me a day or so to get back into the swing of double knitting, but I did enjoy it once it clicked. I don’t love working with cotton, but other than that I enjoyed this project. My phone died this week, so my photos of the project were lost. Luckily my mom sent me a picture of it in use.
I cast on and finished a Dissent Cowl (Ravelry Link). Carissa Browning writes patterns that are lots of fun to knit. I really enjoy mosaic knitting, and once I started this cowl I didn’t want to put it down.
I’m working away on my other WIPs now. I think I’m going to cast on a sweater for Elliot soon, but I would like to be a bit further along on my projects before I get started.

You are just whizzing along on everything Sarah, I hope the ankle is healing as quickly as you knit!

I hope it is too. I’m really crossing projects off of my list while I have the time.

Thank you! I did steal the cowl back, but I fear a sweater for Wrigley might be coming next.

The trivet is so cute! I’ve never done double knitting before. I also do not like to knit with cotton. It hurts my hands. And I love your cowl. I think you wear it best. Maybe a matching sweater for your pup? Hope the ankle is healed soon!

Double knitting is really fun when you get it down. I’m thinking of trying it again soon with fingering weight wool and calling them coasters.

Well you look fantastic in it but I got to say the dog is amazing. I love her nonchalant crossed armed look.

I can’t blame you for taking back your beautiful cowl but Wrigley needs knit accessories, for sure.

I fear she is too stinky for hand knits.

That’s why you get sturdy machine-washable yarn. Dogs in sweaters are pretty dang cute.

She has a few store bought ones, and I think that is it for her.

Both look amazing. I want to like your blog as in clicking the button to like, but it never works. Yours isn’t the only one. But then I have no trouble with some others..
