Audrey got socks earlier this week, so now it is Elliot’s turn. The main yarn is the same colorway as Audrey’s socks, this time in the Sturdy Sock base. I tried to get Elliot to go for sparkly socks, but he didn’t want it. His toes are leftover yarn (maybe Malibrigo?).
I’m going to make myself a pair of Rose City Rollers with the sparkly yarn next, and after that I’m going to knit with different yarn, because this is a lot of sock knitting with the same colorway.
What are you working on?
I finished Audrey’s socks. I do love how fast kid socks go. I need to make a pair for Elliot before I can make mine. They are both excited to have new socks.
I’m thankful for sourdough. Slowing down and thinking about baking is helping me work through my COVID-19 anxiety. I’m exploring and trying new things. I’m also sharing my starter with anyone who wants to try their hand at sourdough.
I’m thankful for internet friends. I love reading your blogs, chatting with you in comments, and Skype and Zoom calls. I’m going to host a Skype call next Saturday at 7:30 CST. Let me know if you would like to join the call. I’ll do a morning call again soon, which will hopefully work better for the people who are asleep at that time.
I’m thankful for walking meditation. When I can get my daily meditation (OK, daily is the goal, I’m not there yet) and my daily walk in at the same time I feel like I’m really accomplishing things.
I’m thankful for a dog that herds me to bed when it’s time to put down the knitting and get some sleep.
What are you thankful for this week?
The web is done! I have a few more rounds to knit until I think I’ll be ready to separate for the sleeves.
I worked on this outside today while the kids played in the yard. I plan on doing that while I can, but soon it will be too hot to work on a sweater outside.
I’m giving myself about six inches before I start thinking about adding pockets.
