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 ...


I love the look of your gray and blue striped sweater! I hope you have enough yarn too! :) Those socks look wonderful too. Love the colors in the yarn! Looks so warm!

ReplyDeleteGood 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!
