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 :)
Love your stripy socks so much. I wish you well on the job front. I remember all too well the gut clutching fear at various points during my career when staffing cuts put my job at risk.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I’m trying not to stress about it, because that won’t change anything. I’ve got some promising leads, so that helps.
DeleteBest of luck on the job front. I love all the stripy socks you knit, keeps reminding me to cake up a stripy sock yarn from my stash for my next pair. Hope you find a new role that is a great fit for what you are after.
