Today we are back with Patti-Ann for our featured WIP. This is another square from Norah's Vintage Afghan - Square 9. Very beautiful construction on this traditional cable pattern. Each square is a totally different pattern. No duplicates in the finished throw and all squares are cabled in one way or another.
I can't wait to see all of them once blocked and assembled.

Hello everyone! I am glad that Darrell & I are back in business sharing posts again with you. Thank you all for your kind wishes. 🥰
Last week, as a WIP, we featured the start of Abby's vacation sock that she started in Greece. Well, here is sock #1 finished in all of its glory! Love the stitch definition and textures. Beautiful job. The pattern is from Stephen West and is called Dustland Socks. The yarn is colourway "Kermit" from Fergus Yarn Co.

The WIP for today is "Whisky Sour by Maxim Cyr".
This was knit in Berroco Remix Light col. 6901, Birch. Our own Abby made size 2, which ended up using exactly 2 balls of Remix Light. She started this project in summer of 2025, but when she was supposed to put the sleeves on hold and start the body, the arm holes were looking very small. Turns out her gauge was too tight :(
The project was put aside and she revisited it at the beginning of this year. The entire sweater was "frogged" (ripped the whole thing out) and re-knit on a larger needle. Now, Abby is really pleased with how it is turning out.

Today's WIP is the beginning of a pair of Dustland Socks by Stephen West. Our own Abby will tell you the details of her project:
"This was my vacation project in Greece. I used the Fergus Yarn Co Sock yarn in the colourway Kermit. If you know me, you know that I go crazy for a yellowy green, so this yarn is perfect for me. This pattern has been in my queue for ages, and I knew it would be a great way to show off this gorgeous yarn. The stitch definition is amazing, and the yarn is so soft and bouncy. I can't wait to finish the pair!"
