finish more knitting projects

Finishing projects has taken a big blow this week.

I started the sock for the Socknitters beginnerSAM and I didn’t like it so didn’t finish that (gonna rip it).

Started the sock for the Socknitter interSAM but because I have thick ankles I made it with a #2 instead of a #1, but I don’t like the way the fabric is knitting up, finished the lace part and everything, now I’m gonna have to start over with #1 and add an extra repeat, sigh.

I also started Branching Out, but I can only work on that when the kids are asleep, I have to be able to concentrate since I am new to lace knitting.

I have signed up for too many KAL’s so I think I am going to drop a couple, I can always come back to them later when the pressure is off. I think I’m going to drop Kiri for now, I don’t have the yarn I want to use for it right now and I have too many other projects I want to get finished. The Mystery Stole Along is almost over so I will go ahead and drop it too, I do want to make it one day, just not now.

1. Clapotis
2. Branching Out
3. Old Shale socks (interSAM)
4. KPS Easy Childrens Socks in Grey Woolease for my son.

. . . seems like something is missing . . .

I started the socks for my son because I was feeling down about not having any projects . . . shoot . . . my son just walked into the room with my knitting needles, the ones that are supposed to be IN HIS SOCKS!!

Yesterday I finished a sock for my daughter . . . the same sock that has been sitting sans needles, since my (then) 2yo pulled them all out, for five months. I wrote about it and posted a pic in my blog here, then the next day my son pulled out the needles. I was so upset I threw it onto the hall table and there it sat.

Yesterday, I finllay picked it up, put it back onto the needles and finished it. Last night I started the 2nd sock and got half way thru the gusset. This morning I woke up an dfinished the 2nd sock! I am so thrilled, another project finished and another skein of yarn out of my stash!

Thursday night I finished knitting up the KPS Children’s Neckdown Cardigan. I blocked the front edges yesterday so I could figure out what size zipper to put into it and today I will go buy a zipper, weave in the ends and sew in the zipper. woohoo! Another project almost done. =)
