Back to normality

This week life in our neck of the woods has started to return to normal after Christmas. Everyone seems to have settled into their normal daily routines again. I went back to gym yesterday to make some headway into my Christmas overindulgence and I am certainly feeling it today!


Knitting wise, I have made some progress on the grey and pink featherweight but not enough to warrant a photo. I have cast off the body of the grey and blue featherweight and will now start the sleeves. I am a bit worried about running out of yarn on this one. I wanted to knit it purely from stash and not buy new yarn, I will see if I have enough for the bands once the sleeves are done. Fingers crossed!


I cast on a sock yesterday to have a portable project and something else to do when sweater knitting gets on top of me. I have a horrible history with socks. I have only ever finished two pairs and frogged plenty more than that. I even have some sock wips lying about somewhere. However, this sock is exciting because even though it is a vanilla pattern, it is a toe up pattern, something new for me. This is my second attempt at these socks. The first ones I tried yesterday turned out too big and could of kept Big Foot warm in winter.

Until next time ...

  6. Good on you for knitting toe up socks - I've been knitting socks for the past three years and have yet to attempt a toe up pattern!
