I've finished my Monkey Socks! I decided not to frog the too short sock (eek! Don't tell anyone.) But I'm pretty happy with them overall and I had fun finishing up the last one. I had been feeling kind of burnt out. I was looking at my Ravelry projects and they were all toys. I hadn't made anything for myself since my French Market Bag. It's not that I don't like toys, obviously, but my shop was making me feel that that's all I could knit. Let me tell you, it takes awhile to knit up this stuff, and it was leaving me with zero time for me knitting. So, I finished my socks...
And started this. My first sweater, the Nymph Tee! I'm really exited. It's a pretty easy one done flat with seaming and mostly stockinette stitch, not that I'm afraid of a pattern, but it's nice to be able to just knit without thinking about anything
Here's how far I am. I picked an acrylic/wool blend in this pretty rusty orange color. I'm pretty happy with it and the yarn drapes beautifully. I can't wait to try it on!
Great job on the socks! They look fantastic!
And the sweater looks beautiful, I love the colour you choose. Can't wait to see the finished product!
Ooooh I love!! Something about summer makes me halt all knitting. I really need some inspiration - maybe I should head over to ravelry!
That's such a pretty color you picked. And I love that pattern.
