I have huge news. My Finishing Friday pledge has started to pay off. I am now halfway done with my Twizzler socks. I will cast on the second one tonight or tomorrow so I have swim lesson knitting ready to go tomorrow. I love how these look. They are a little tight now, which usually means they will be perfect after blocking.

I cast on The Weekender sweater at the end of last week. I hope to have it finished for Thanksgiving. That works out to about one skein of worsted weight yarn a week, which sounds totally doable. I am loving this knit – it’s mindless, but you have to think twice a row so it isn’t totally boring.

If you have been thinking about knitting a weekender you should cast one on. Alissa and Shannon are knitting weekenders too, so you would be joining a fun group. I’ll even make small project bags for everyone who finishes The Weekender before Thanksgiving (why yes, I do seriously need motivation to get back to sewing, why do you ask?).
I am in a phase where I want to knit ALL THE THINGS, so I’m doing my best to shrug off any responsibilities and obligations so I can knit instead. My house is filthy, I’ve been relying on rotisserie chicken for dinners, and I’m behind on reading, but it has been awesome.
There is nothing better than a strong will to knit:)
Your sock is great! I love the color of your sweater. I look forward to watching it progress.

That sock looks great! Nifty pattern, and the yarn really accentuates your stitching. Looking forward to watching your Weekender progress – it is beautiful so far:)
Go with your flow – there is plenty of time for other stuff later

Life is all about priorities, and mine seem to be pretty much the same as yours – KNIT ALL THE THINGS! Especially when they’re as pretty as that sock.

I’m trying to avoid having a fabric stash, but I think I’m failing at that.

I love that yarn for that pattern! I think the pattern works better on something non-self striping. I’ll definitely be using it again, thanks to you!
