Knitting in Proportions


Finished - a pair of fun, easy socks.



Unfinished - several lace-trimmed towels, Unleaving, and the EZ Camping Shawl.  The knitting is all done, but obviously the finishing remains.  I've decided that the amount of knitting that I do is directly proportional to the level of stress I feel, and also that the amount of finishing that I do is indirectly proportional to that level of stress.  Which means we're in for a whole lot of knitting, and not a lot of finishing!  (I'm sure you haven't failed to notice that there are TWO shawls here!)  (P.S.  I've also got like 4 pairs of socks going!)

Those socks may have been fun, but they do not look easy to me! Blocking and finishing are perennial chores. Maybe it will seem more worthwhile when the weather gets cold and the shawls can be worn.

It's all beautiful work, Oogy, and I hope it's serving as an effective coping strategy.

Colorful Booties and Socks

Image
It is the Year of Colorwork, but mostly what I've done so far is produce a few color ful items!  I've been making this baby bootie pattern for years, mostly from leftover sock yarns.  This particular yarn is what remained from last fall's Flamewalker Socks .  That these booties stand up all by their jaunty selves makes them particularly appealing. These are  Crazy For You socks.  They haven't told me yet exactly whom they are crazy for , but I'll let them ponder that for a while.  It appears I may have caught a bit of Knitting New England's Tangerine Tango  with all of these orangey colors!

Wingspan, Part I

Image
I have two skeins of Classic Elite Alpaca Sox yarn that absolutely refuse to become socks. They pool, they gap, they otherwise cry and carry on in all sorts of ways. So, they are becoming Wingspans instead. I finished the first one last night, and cast on the second one this morning. They are, indeed, a pleasurable and addictive knit!
