FO-Baudelaires

Behold, my Baudelaires:

They weren't hard, I just didn't work that often on them. The most stressful part was figuring out how many repeats to do before doing the gusset increases (for my foot length, the answer ended up being: six). Other than that, I did followed this pattern to a T (what does that mean, anyway?). I liked the little cables running up the legs in between the lace pattern and I liked how easy it was to read the lace pattern. I did Cookie A.'s Twinkle Toes oh so long ago, but these are much prettier.

I really like this yarn, Regia Stretch. It's soft and (obviously) stretchy. I'm glad I have 100 more grams of this yarn so I can knit another pair of socks with it.

Now that I'm done with these socks, I only have three concurrent projects: my Tidewater Cardigan, a Bamboletta Cardigan, and the Waldorf doll. The Waldorf doll isn't actually a knitting project, but I'm up to the part where I have to crochet a wig cap, and it's crafty, so I'm counting it. I think I only have so much space in my head for works in progress, it's like the desktop on your monitor--if you have too many, they get lost.

Anyhow, I realized last night that I crocheted the cap wrong--you're supposed to single crochet into the back of the loops/chain, and I was still crocheting into the front edge. C'est la vie. I really need to embroider the eyes and mouth in before that though, and I still have yet to determine whether the eyes and mouth are where they should be. If the eyes are too close together the doll will look angry; too far apart and the doll looks weird. And the mouth--for it to be truly in the Waldorf style, it shouldn't have much more than a line of pink, so that the child can pretend whether the doll is happy or sad or whatever emotion s/he wants. However, the Bamboletta dolls are really cute and they all have smiles.

The right sleeve of my Tidewater Cardigan is almost done, albeit without enough decreases for it to have zero ease:

That's the shoulder cap on the left, going down to the cuff (rather, where the cuff will be). The gradation isn't perfect, but there no longer is a pale patch followed by a noticeably dark patch. It's more gradual. Now I have to decide what kind of cuff I want. Originally I thought I'd do a small ribbed cuff, but now I'm wondering if I want to go fancy and do an I-cord bind-off or a sewn hem.

Edited to add: Actually, I did it right the first time. It took me ripping it all out and starting over again the way I thought was the right way, to realize it was wrong (which then meant I had to rip it out one more time to restart). I have a little crocheted wig cap now, but I have to embroider the eyes and mouth before I can sew the cap on.
