On The Needles–April 4, 2014

I guess I really should say off the needles.  While Bill was in the hospital, I finished my socks.  I still need to weave in the yarn ends before I can wear them but all the knitting is done.  This is the second pair I have made with the toe up pattern, using the Fish Lips Kiss heel. I am really glad I took the class late last year.

My next project is to finish these socks that I started some time ago.

These use larger needles so hopefully they will go faster – of course that means I need to work on them.

My never-ending socks are on my needles today.

I did a few more rows on the ribbing while waiting at doctors’ offices.  Still have lots of yarn left so need to do a few more inches.

I would really like to get these finished – so much yarn, so little time.

My socks are still on my needles.  I haven’t had much time to knit this last week.

Actually, this is the photo from last week -  I have added a few more ribbing rows since then.

I am still working on my socks.  With the smaller needles, I am working on the ribbing for the cuff.  With the larger needles and yarn, I just did a few more rows but have a long way to go.  I didn’t have much time to knit this week but I have been sewing a lot.

Still feels strange to type 2014 – even worse, we have a discount card at the shop that expires a year after it is purchased so we are now writing 2015.  How can that be?  My socks are still on my needles but I have made progress.  I have turned both heels and am almost ready to start the ribbing.

I really like how the socks are similar but not identical.  One has a purple heel and the other has orange.  Self striping yarn is fun!

Judy at Patchwork times who sponsors the Stash Report and Design Wall Monday is starting One the Needles to keep track of knitting/yarn projects.  I know I won’t be reporting weekly because watching my progress on any knitting project is somewhat like watching paint dry.

Here is what I am working on right now.  The pattern is called Color Affection and I found it on Revelry.  Lynda and I went to Stitches South a couple of months ago and we both bought yarn for this project.  I love how it is turning out but I am a very slow knitter and have several other projects to work on.

It is beautiful and I am eager to be able to use it.
