Knitting content
I finished everything I set out to do with my knitting this week. A day early even. Ok I did not dye yet, but tomorrow the husband is off which means it's still the weekend as far as I am concerned;) Anyway last night I finished the garter rib sock and frog the ill-conceived paintbox bag so I am officially *done* with 2006 knits. I'd show a picture of the socks but they are sitting in some slightly soapy water. However I did manage to take a picture of the socks Judie knit for me out of my hand-dyed. I so love these socks:)
The light today sucks since its grey and rainy. I love days like this but it just makes for piss poor photos. However there is nothing like a day like this, some yarn, some old cure playing. It's kind of sad how stunted my music tastes are. For the most part I've been listening to the exact same bands since I was 13. I blame my adolescent angst. Oh boy was I angsty! It's weird to me now but then I sure knew how to dwell on such useless crap. So looking into the future I guess I had better pick some new projects. I am thinking three or four depending on what I decide to do. The tentative list is:
- Socks. I already picked the yarn and it's going to be STR med in the Lagoon Colorway. As to pattern...I am thinking just the basic sock toe up. They go quickly and hopefully I can squeeze two pair out of the skein. One for me and one for grandma. Then again I could pick a more complicated pattern...maybe jaywalkers.
- Sweater. I swatched for lucy and got stitch gauge. I'm just not sure I *love* the fabric. Might swatch down a needle size and see today.
- Something totally mindless for tv knitting and SNB. I might redo the math on the ill-advised paintbox bag. That yarn needs to be felted, too rough for a scarf. Also could do a really simple scarf with that alpaca I dyed before the Christmas.
- Lady E or another clap. I want to do a mini clap with this alpaca I picked up last year.
So getting those ironed out and cast on is the goal for this week. Also must dye and take photos. Not a bad line up for the week.
