After about a month-long hiatus, I am knitting again with a vengeance. I started a pinkish cardigan back in early February and was tearing along on it and impressing myself mightily, but then I realized that I still had an immense distance of stockinette to complete and when I did I would be staring down the barrel of a TON of seaming. The wind left my sails and I sputtered to a stop. The pattern I was using was from this book and while the patterns therein are simple as promised, many of them do involve a lot of finishing work. We are not a fan.
After a brief period of existential knitting angst, I decided to jump back in with something familiar. On a whim I bought a skein of actual sock yarn and a set of size 1 dpns and I cast on for my first pair of actual wearable socks. With one sock completed in a lightening fast week, I cast on for a second project...my first true foray into the world of multiple WIPs. I am knitting the Honeymoon Cami from knitty.com in Knitpicks Cotlin in a color called Key Lime. The color actually looks just like Kermit the Frog to me, which is just fine as he is a very wise and charming frog worthy of emulation. Progress photos soon.
