After months of avoiding working on this pair of socks I finally started the second sock last night. The pattern is Up All Night by Meanest Mommy Knits. It is easy to memorize and fits great (thanks to the rib).
I’m going to start slipper socks for my mother-in-law tonight or tomorrow. If I suddenly find hours to knit I might whip something up for my sister-in-law too. It is doubtful that I’ll find hours to knit; I have too much to do to get ready for Christmas.
I don’t have an updated picture of my shawl. I did work on it for a few hours. Then I dropped a stitch. It was in the only fiddly part of the shawl so I could not pick it up easily. I ended up tearing out the two inches I finished this week. The shawl is now sitting in a corner being punished. It knows what it did.
Have a great week and a Merry Christmas!

Wait, why are you avoiding these socks? I’ve had that pattern in my queue for ages, glad to hear it’s easy to memorize!

I’m just burnt out on socks. Well, that and I’m using knit picks Hawthorne, it is fine yarn, but it isn’t glamorous (I’m a glamorous knitter, I guess). The pattern is great, all of her patterns are, you should make them.

Haha! I know what you mean. Socks are just more fun when the yarn is amazing.

I am jealous that you have all this time just before Christmas. I am struggling to get things finished and ready before family descend tomorrow.

I have four days, so I think I’ll be OK. I picked a small project and I’m going to use every minute of nap time to knit.

Those socks look great! I hope the shawl learns its lesson, now that’s had some time to think about what it’s done 😉

I think it is going to be a long punishment. I still haven’t picked it up.
