Do you ever stop?
The socks are done!!!
My beautiful pair of Christmas socks are wrapped and ready to be shipped off! It feels so great to have finished these in such a short amount of time, it’s the benefit of not having worked a complex pattern this time. It’s the basic sock pattern my grandmother (and my mom) uses. I’ve wondered why they use it, because I always felt the need to discover something new. But I think my grandmother always used the same knitting pattern because it was fastest and I think that when you have to knit for 7 children, I think you’ll be happy that they’re done fast.
Having done those beautiful socks, there is no time to falter… It was nearly a tie between a beautiful bear and finishing the pair of socks that I’ve put on hold, and while the sock needles were still hot, I chose for the beautiful bear with the motivation to giftwrap this project as well.
I’ve started a second project as well, which will be dragged along everywhere I go. It’s a cardigan and while I made the calculations a few hours ago and knitted the first rows, I think I might frog the deal and calculate again. I fear that I might have been a bit generous with the dimensions… I think I’ll meditate on that during the night.
(and yes a half-stuffed animal does not qualify to be dragged along everywhere I go)
Anyway, off to bed. I’ll update on life very soon. I still have to share my field of pumpkins with you ;-)
