Plain knitting

Wanting repetitive, not-too-challenging, comfort projects during these days, here are a couple things (not all...) I've been knitting. These are all in-progress, pre-blocking pictures.

From The Great American Aran Afghan, I've started the "Aran Sweater" square by Susan Rainey, using Lion Brand Fishermen's Wool. The sweater still needs the sleeves and neckband knitted.



One of the reasons I chose this square was to practice the combined knitting technique I learned in Annie Modesitt's class. I especially wanted to see how evenly the stockinette stitch came out. I was quite pleased—again, this is pre-blocking.



Another project I pick up when I want to knit while watching TV is a hemp shopping bag, using All Hemp 6 and a pattern from Lanaknits. There are only two pattern rows for the body of the bag.
