I hope you've had a wonderful week so far!
My knitting needles have hardly been out of my hands in the past few days - it's really wonderful to be able to get back to doing what I love. There is something very soothing about being able to spend whole days creating... seeing progress being made on these long-neglected projects is really making me happy!
So, what have I been up to? Several different projects are on the go... a blanket for the hospice (another one!) which I will share pictures of when a bit more progress has been made... and of course, socks!
My socks have been my main focus over the past few days... I've finished the leg and have turned the heel on my simple ribbed pink ones! Yay! Slow progress on these lovelies, but are nice and simple to knit during my local Knit and Knatter evenings.
(More project details HERE.)
A new sock project has also been cast on! After seeing Mara's awesome ankle socks, I really wanted to try making some (Hello, summer socks!) and luckily she's just released the pattern for them HERE!
Several of us are knitting them as part of the #RoseCityRollersKAL on Instagram. It's such fun being able to see everyone else's progress and yarn choices as I've been working on mine!
The heel has been turned on these too, so just feet and heels to knit on both, which is lovely and simple. I've found myself leaning towards simplicity in my knitting and crocheting projects - back to basics :-)
Have you noticed any trends in your projects?
Beautiful socks! Such bright colors, I love that in socks. Well a trend in my projects is socks too and maybe baby hats :-)
ReplyDeleteLove those socks! The colors are fantastic :) I find it healthy to trade off between complicated and simple projects-some days you just can't beat a nice, easy sock :)
ReplyDeleteLove your projects! You make me want to cast-on for a pair of ribbed socks too
