Lots of progress, much wow.

 I have three projects that I am rotating through and trying to do at least two rounds every time I pick one up. Sometimes I only do one round of the hat because it goes so much faster but you know how it is getting caught up in the motions and then discover you passed your row marker ten stitches ago. Any progress is better than none.

Yesterday and today. Almost double the distance in a short time. I love using worsted weight yarn on a small project. The colors are also fantastic but by the time I get to the top of the crown it will mostly be the greens and almost cammo looking. That's all good, my son is tall so the blues showing up where people can see them is perfect.

The two sock pairs. Green ones still have a long way to go and am getting a bit tired of the 2x2 rib. I have decided on a pattern for the Sheepicorn socks and it's going to be cute if I can pull it off. 

The foot top is going to be Seersucker as it's the only stitch that is fairly flat and yet kind of looks like sheep wool (already started on it with about an inch of plain for the toe). I was going to do something like irish moss or seed stitch on the sole but then decided it would be too lumpy.

This stitch pattern is my basis for the leg section. I've actually knitted this scarf years ago and it turned out great. I would still have it if my daughter hadn't left it at a friends house at Lake Tahoe. It's a 3x6 cable that is the best representation of a unicorn horn, right? Get it? Get it? Sheepicorn? I may leave out the column of knit stitch in between so the cable show better. Still deciding on whether to do just a pair of cables on the sides or this all the way around. Leaning toward cables all the way up.  The dicey part is merging the Seersucker into this on the top of the foot. I have to be very patient and hold the Seersucker all the way until I'm above the ankle line and then start the cables. So Seersucker for at least two inches above the ankle line for sure all the way around. 

Can't wait to see how that all works out! Might have them done by October at this rate.
