…I managed to finally get my last pair of ‘traveling socks’ off the needles this past weekend. These were my third pair of Monkeys and, while I like the pattern well enough since it’s easy to remember, I think it’s time I find a new ‘easy’ pattern. ;o)
…is what I needed after working on the CPH for a lifetime. With that in mind, on Saturday I turned this:
into this:
I had to give it a bath and a thwacking to make it behave so I had to wait for it to dry (in front of a fan and then on the flat thingy in the dryer when it STILL wasn’t dry enough). Then on Sunday morning I cast on a pair of Fetching and by the end of Sense & Sensibility last night, I had this:
I even spent most of the afternoon cleaning up the yard (hence the band-aid on my thumb - thank God I blister easily or I would have been out there longer!) If that’s not almost instant gratification, I don’t know what is. ;o)
So, speaking of S&S, how did you all like it?
…not the CPH, sorry to disappoint. I’m still fighting with a button decision - who knows? Maybe I’ll forgo them completely!
I did, however, finish a project that had been hanging out on my needles since May of last year, my Central Air socks from the Rockin’ Sock Club 2006:
The colorway is PeaseBlossom and I knit them on size 2.5mm KnitPicks circulars. The reason these took so long is that they hurt my hands to knit them, I think because there are so many k2tog and ssk on every other row.
I’m so glad to finally have these finished - I didn’t realize I started them almost a year ago!! Yikes!
In other news, for those watching the new Austen on Masterpiece, what did you think of the first installment of the new Sense & Sensibility last night?
