Although it may not look like much, I have made some knitting progress. Yes, it’s miraculous.
The Rhombi Sweater body is finally finished and I’m working on the collar now. It’s a 10 row repeat that is knit twice and although the rows are looooooong, at least they are interesting. I’ve got one of those repeats finished and then I just have to finish the sleeves (they are short so that should be relatively painless) and it will be done. Dare I hope to be finished by the end of the weekend?
As for the Tulum Socks, well, they are growing. Two Town Meetings and a colonscopy helped with that. I will say that I remember now why I stopped knitting socks with dpns. It’s way slower for me than magic loop. In any case, I will not NOT be knitting these come July 1. Of course, I’m pretty sure I said the same thing about June 1 but whateverrrrr.
As I tell myself quite frequently these days, it’s a hobby not a job.
I was going to put “finish a pair of socks” on my June list, but decided against it – I really want to get my mojo back for them, not feel obligated to check them off my to-do list. love the sweater – can’t wait to see FO shots next week!
Exactly. Hobby. For fun. 🙂 That sweater looks wonderful! I love the color(s). I just finished a pair of socks. It took me about 8 months. But I finished!
Sweater is beautiful! Can’t wait to see it finished 🙂
I’ve got a couple of slogs going – a baby sweater and a second sock. Your sweater looks quite nice! I hear we’re getting a nor’easter and I’m headed to the White Mountains tomorrow…looks like knitting weather to me!
The colors in your sweater are gorgeous! It makes me think of lilac bushes 🙂
BTW, I made the peanut butter squares recipe that you shared last week and they are fantastic! My family said that I really needed to practice though and make them again. Haha!
I confess I don’t get the magic loop thing. I know HOW, but it seems like too much shifting stitches, and pulling and looping, whereas with dps, you just go round and round. I’ve tried socks on a tiny circ, too, but that’s really awkward and strained. So dps remain my choice – for now – but I’m ready to change my opinion if you can show me how magic loop is better.
I love knitting socks on an 8-inch circular. Still need dpns for the heels and toes.
Love the sweater and the socks – both are beautiful yarn. Can’t wait to see the finished projects.
I’m looking forward to the sweater unveiling. I have a second sock that I’ve needed to close for several weeks, but hey, I’m not wearing them any time soon – what’s the rush? Oh, love knit companion btw. Finished configuring the charts for the Percy shawl and am ready to get back to fixing it. Awesome tool!!
Love the saying, “It’s a hobby, not a job.”. Think I’ll adopt it as my mantra.
Exactly! The key word is HOBBY.
I don’t even use my dpn’s anymore. I am a magic loop gal all the way 🙂
I can’t wait to see that sweater finished – it looks so pretty already.
I’m not sure I’ll finish anything any time soon. It’s the process…:-)
That sweater is going to look so great on you!
I gave away and sold my large collection of dpns. I only use Magic Loop now.
Isn’t it nice to be able to knit a SMALLER SIZE sweater???
Carole, I can’t wait to see your “Rhombi” when its finished! I love the colorway 🙂
