I said I was going to make an effort to track everything I make this year and I am glad to say, I have 2 things done so far. I saw the Fishy pattern and had to make one. This was intended for the kid’s little brother, but unfortunately, he got to it first and I can’t get it off him. I’ll get another one underway this weekend, they’re quick and easy and a fun way to use up odd bits from the stash. I’m hoping that I’m going to run out of the orange/red/yellow that I’m making everything out of currently, but those are the colors that the kid asks for.
The other was a pair of socks for me.
There was another pair that I have finished and packed off to the sister in law, but I had one of those done a long time ago and had forgotten about them…
I’ve made an unofficial promise to myself that I will try to complete all the “in progress” knitting projects I have lying around the house. These socks have been on the needles for months and I finally finished them up this morning. Now, on to the scarves, sweaters and other bits….
I finished off the cobblestone sweater for the kid last night, it’s drying now, so pictures will be forthcoming. I promised that I would finish that one, and the pair of socks that I’m about 3 inches of foot from finishing as well, before I started on anything else.
The problem is that a few weeks ago I bought some cashmere lace weight and I’ve been driving myself nuts trying to decide what to do with it. There’s one shawl pattern in the Victorian Lace book I have that I think will be great with the colors I have, so needless to say I decided to go ahead and cast on. I have spent the last hour not getting through the first two rows. I can’t count, it’s official. I think it’s a combination of a provisional cast on and very fine yarn, I’m just having a hell of a time counting to 70.
I’m taking a break to eat some lunch.
