So how did the month go? The plan was - one pair of socks, one gift knit, something for pleasure/wearing/instant gratification and one big knit WIP. Well, yay, I did it! What, you don't believe me? How could I possibly catch up when yesterday I said I hadn't yet cast on the second sock? You want to see? Well here you go......
The gift knit:
 |
| Multnomah shawl in KnitPicks Stroll Hayride |
The big knit WIP:
 |
| One skein worth of baby blanket. |
The socks:
 |
| Lacy rib socks |
Hmmm, not quite got the colour right, try again:
 |
| Nice colour and fit don't you think? |
The pleasure/wearing/instant gratification knit:
 |
| Tofino surfer hat. |
What's that you say? I didn't mention working on a couple of those things? And those socks don't look like the ones I blogged yesterday? Well I did start late due to that awful flu illness we all had. And I did say I had a sneaky plan just in case ;)
The Multnomah shawl and the lacy rib socks were both longstanding WIP's found lingering during the stash sort out and relocation. Both cast on many months/years ago but both finally finished earlier this month.
The Tofino surfer hat was cast on at the beginning of the month as a quick make for Heather after her proper winter hat disappeared, although now it has been rehomed with the lovely granddaughter after she tried it on and "loosened" the knit.See how big it was when Heather got it back for a few moments?
The second of the actual January socks is cast on and at round 30 of 90 from the top down, so I'm going to carry on blasting along with them until they're done. Hopefully I'll be at the heel by this evening.....
So anyway, I reckon that's a pretty good first month for my year long goal, don't you?
Back tomorrow with February's hopes and plans.

Wow! Go you! And I thought I was clever finishing a couple of projects. LOL I love those socks, my favourite colour. And the gift knit is just awesome. Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful. I am supposed to be conducting a math lesson right now but my son informs me he is studying the manual for his new motor bike. Maybe I will tackle another project instead. Hmmm
