I really am still knitting!
If you’ve been around here for years — and really, why wouldn’t you? Obviously I am full of stimulating knitting content — you might notice that any time a new school semester starts, my knitting drops off like a bowling ball going over a cliff. I should really find ways to NOT do that, but somehow … yeah, it doesn’t work out.
I actually am still knitting, but my horde of unfinished knitting THINGS is making me crazy. Eris languishes in a basket on my living room side table, petulantly whining, “I thought you were finishing me for last April?” My Hurricane Sock keeps begging, “Are you going to pick up the needles again and finish my partner? I am beautiful and deserve to be loved!”
I even have plans for projects. I have some very spring-like yarn in a light apple green and soft pink that I’m thinking of working into Crumpets. I have a new nephew who will be born in July and a friend’s baby boy who will be born in July, and I think they both need a sweater for Fall. Maybe Trellis? Maybe something that doesn’t require too much thought? Hmm.
In the meantime, I am knitting something very plain and simple (and now pointless for another 8 months) for Will: a reversible cap made from leftover sock yarn. It’s knit in the round, it’s plain stockinette, and it’s self-patterning yarn that makes it look far more complicated than it actually is. I’ll post a picture when I finish with one side of it … Will’s choices from my sock yarn are quite interesting.
I miss knitting!
