Stash Dash FO #7

The seventh item for Stash Dash is a pair of Blueberry Waffle Socks for my husband.



We bought this skein of Zauberball at Retrosaria Rosa Pomar last year. He picked the color himself, and I've really enjoyed knitting these for him. I don't know why I've been dragging my feet to finish these, because I knit them halway really quickly! But the finishing rib was endless (as if the entire sock isn't knit in knit 2 purl 2).

Now they are finished, and going in the wool-bin for next autumn.



So far I've got 2012,4 meters/5000 meters for Stash Dash.


Stash Dash FO #6

The sixth finished object for Stash Dash is a pair of Serpentine socks.



They're knit out of yarn I've dyed and spun. I'm really pleased with these, and how the pattern came out in these. It could have been more obvious in a yarn that's less variegated in color and thickness, but for me I'm pleased.


The pattern is easy to memorize once you get into it, but I did mess up in one place. Luckily I spotted it before I got to the same place on the second sock, so I made the same mistake there on purpose.

So far I've got 1852,6 meters/5000 meters for Stash Dash.



Stash Dash FO #5

My fifth finished object for Stash Dash is a small sweater out of handspun.



I've used handspun in different greens in this sweater, and some scraps of the same thickness to get enough. A real Stash Dashing sweater in other words!



So far I've got 1464,6 meters/5000 meters for Stash Dash.




Stash Dash FO #4

My fourth finished object for Stash Dash was a quick one; the Grantham hat.



I knit it out of Regia sock yarn, and it was a pleasant knit. Very intuitive and enjoyable, the pattern is simple, but easy to understand. The only modification I did was to knit an icord at the top and loop it, instead of a knotted tube. I will knit this pattern again, possibly with some colorwork next time.



So far I've got 1003,6 meters/5000 meters for Stash Dash.
