Speed Knitter Returns

I broke my personal sock knitting record. While on vacation I knit a pair of RPMS in five days. I used Socks that Rock Lightweight in Jingle Bell Rock. There are 6 repeats on the leg.

Holiday Knitting is Underway

I'm trying to avoid having a time crunch. Especially since this year I'll be out of town for the Holidays.

I've nearly finished my projects for my future niece, my sister's present is half done, I started the one for my mom yesterday, and I wound the yarn for my dad's present. I'm still debating what to do for my brother-in-law's gift. I may knit part and buy the other part. I haven't decided yet.

Ravelympics

I decided to participate in the Ravelympics this year. I am in the Sock Put and the Shawl Relay. I'm going to do the Froggin' sock pattern using the Dashing Dachs fingering weight in the Froggin' Colorway and the Diamonds and Pearls Shawl in Lady Godiva's Ocean colorway.


The shawl is going to be the challenge. At least it is a one skein worsted weight project.

Knitting on straights with charity yarn

I haven't knit on straight needles in about two years.

However today I was over at my parents house and realized I didn't have any knitting with me. When I moved out I took all my yarn and needles, except for my portion of the charity yarn given to the knitting group and straight needles.

I guess I am more addicted to knitting than I thought. I was over there watching tv and I couldn't focus on what I was watching without a project in my hands.

So I now have a rib stitch scarf for charity in progress.

Pooling Monkeys Finished

I finished the pooling Monkeys at 2:00am on Mother's Day. The toe up version is much better. At leas they don't look like the Sleeping Beauty faerie fight any longer.
