I haven't posted about my knitting for a while, largely because I hadn't finished anything in a long time. After running out of yarn on two large projects, I started work on a pair of knee socks with random stripes generated by die rolls.
Finally, I finished the socks at the beginning of November.
I knit the socks from the toe up and used a four-sided die to select the color and a twelve-sided die to select the number of rows.
Next, I needed some fast projects. I was tired of not finishing things, and I was way behind on my goal of at least twelve finished objects for the year, so I started knitting dishcloths. It was fortunate timing, because this was a difficult few weeks, and a bit of mind-less knitting was in order.
When I had used up the last of my cotton left-overs, I started another pair of socks. I finished this pair on Tuesday, then on Wednesday morning I went for the first time to the yarn store in Wyandotte, Riverside Yarn Gallery, where I purchased more yarn to complete my scandinavian stranded colorwork cardigan. If I can complete it before the end of December, which I think I will, it will make the twelfth completed project for the year.
I love those purple and blue socks! I'm still not done with the sweater I started this summer.
ReplyDeleteWell, winter is the best time for knitting sweaters.
DeleteYour awesome socks are secretly geeky too, in addition to being generally awesome! Secretly geeky knitting is the best kind.
