A Year of Projects 8/52

 **Theres no week 7/52 post as I needed a computer break.

Back for week 8 with…you guessed it: socks!  Needed to take a bit of a computer/social media break last week.  Spent some time updating my resume, and interviewing. My current job is up in the air right now, so I’m trying to prepare for when it ends. 

Stripey socks are almost finished!  I need to Kitchener the toe and weave in ends on sock number 2.  They’ll be finished this evening.  That leaves me with my Bomb Pop socks and Morning Coffee.  Summer Sock Camp ends the 31st.  Im still going to try and finish both, but I’m not sure I’ll get the Morning Coffee socks done.  But I’m fine with that.  I’ve knit more this summer than I have in quite some time.   After that, I’ll be  finishing up the socks I started before camp and moving on to a sweater or two.  Working on my Fall Knitting Goals now.  

   

In addition to my socks this week, I was helping my daughter finish a hat she made for her grandmother.  She has really taken to knitting.  Next up for her is a cape let from the new Harry Potter knitting book.  Ill be teaching her M1L and M1R with this pattern.

That’s all I’ve got this week.  Trying to get some stuff done before we have a “staycation” the end of this week.  I’m looking forward to some extra knitting time :)

A Year of Projects 6/52

 This summer is flying by!  In the beginning of the summer we were super excited for a family vacation.  So I get why it was going so fast.  Unfortunately, due to increasing COVID numbers, we’ve had to cancel the vacation.  We are sad, and angry. The whole family has not been together since Christmas 2019.  Thankfully, we have all been able to see each other at different times, but it sucks not being able to have everyone together.  But, in order to stay safe, this is how it needs to be.  I hope these numbers go down quickly! Knitting has been a great stress reliever at this time.  My daughter has even started knitting again and has been finishing some projects up.  

This week I was able to finish my Socks that Rock socks. I did this as part of Knitty Natty’s second sock week knit along.

I’ve also worked on all the others :). I have two sections left on my stripey socks.  I hope to finish them this week.  I need to pull out my instructions for the afterthought heel. 

 My Bomb Pop Sock needs to come off the 9 inch needles so I can do the toe.  

I was even to get some time in with my Morning Coffee Socks.  My knit group had a Zoom meeting on Friday and I worked on them during it.  It was so nice to get to spend some time with friends knitting. Sock Camp wraps up August 31st, so I need to start thinking about what’s next on the knit/crochet list. Can’t wait to take a look around this week to see what everyone is up to while I work on my list!

A Year of Projects 5/52

 Just a quick update. We’ve been out doing yard work all morning and now I need to get some errands done.  It’s still all about socks here :)

I’ve got a completed pair, as my daughter decided she wants to try tube socks.  

I’ve mostly been working on the stripey socks and my Shark Week socks.  One stripey sock is ready for a heel. I need to finish the other. My shark week sock will be my focus this week as Knitty Natty is running a second sock knit along.  

   

I didn’t really do too much on the Morning Coffee Socks or the Bomb Pop Socks.  Maybe a few rows each.

I look forward to checking out what everyone has been up to this week!
