I have cast on and knitted up lots of small projects this week I have two left on the needles a scarf I started ages ago, this has taken a bit of a back seat lately but I need to get it finished so that I can block it before we go away on Sunday. The other project is the socks I shared last week. I decided to cast on the second sock as a change, I normally complete one sock before starting the other. I have knitted the cuff and turned the heel and now need to knit the foot part on both. These socks are for a friend with big feet so there is still many rows to knit on each. They need to be knitted by New Year so I think I will complete these in time, not so sure about a second pair I would like to knit for New Year!
Reading has not been happening again this week, I have been knitting, sewing and crafting instead. The only book I have looked at has been my Ultimate Knitting Bible to look up a few, new to me, techniques to finish off the Nova Dress. I have now finished it but I am going to wait until after Christmas to share pictures as it is a gift for my youngest and I want to try to get a picture of her wearing it!
What are you knitting a reading this week?
LoVe those sock! I haven't managed much reading this week either, too much to do and not enough time!
ReplyDeleteMmm I like that yarn, very warm looking :) Good luck with the sock knitting!
ReplyDeletelove the socks! I promised myself I'll knit some socks this year (2012) but never did... I adore hand-knitted socks but as none of my friends knits, if I want any, I'll have to knit them myself - thank God I have small feet so it shouldn't take too long to knit some :D . Beautiful yarn! I'm sure your friend will love them.
ReplyDeleteI. LOVE. Those. Socks! Nice and tall, and gorgeous colour. I like knitting socks two at a time, when I have two sets of needles in the right size. Just makes me feel better knowing that a finished sock isn't just half a project with the other half still to do.
ReplyDeletei love the color way of that sock yarn. what a great pattern.
ReplyDeleteLove the socks. I am rereading the LOTR series and knitting Wingspan
ReplyDeleteWOW! You're really plowing through these socks! I bet it's going to feel great when you finish the first one and are able to have the second one ready shortly after!
ReplyDeletewow, I love the socks (I hope to learn to make it a day!) and the yarn is wonderful !
ReplyDeleteI do like that self-striping yarn. I hope you manage to get everything done :o)
ReplyDeleteThose socks are fabulous! I wish I could knit like that. I am reading magazines in bed (the only time I get to read) but I really need to start a new book. It will be my new year resolution.
