Week 19!! WOW! I am happy to still be keeping up with this!
I have had a fairly productive week. I finished my Vanilla Socks for John. I now need to decide if I will save them to give him for Christmas or if I will give them to him now... I'm leaning towards saving them for a Christmas gift.
I also made some great progress on my Mystery Shawl. It is all scrunchy and unblocked but is almost done!! I am ready to do row 279 out of 292 - only 14 rows left to do - but every second row increases the stitch count by one so it keeps getting bigger! A little over 2000 stitches left to knit! I am hoping to finish this up after church today - it is all I plan to knit on for the rest of the day!
This week coming up I plan to tackle my Coffee Cantata socks - let's see if I can get closer to finishing those off!! And the second clue in the Mystery Socks will be out on Wednesday so I will be on that this week as well! I am trying to refrain from casting on something new and am struggling!! Especially if I have two finished objects in the past little while (well one finished and one nearly done). I really want to cast on the second pair of Selbu mittens... Stay strong Karen, stay strong!

Your shawl looks so soft and yummy. All those stitches takes a lot of time to make it across a row. That is the only draw back to knitting shawls. Nice job on the socks. I too, would keep them for Christmas. Stay strong Karen.............no casting on..........yet.
ReplyDeleteThose socks are great - I can see why you want to give them now rather than waiting for christmas. I am like that too, I just want to give things as soon as they are off the needles.
ReplyDeleteThe shawl is almost done! Yay for you! The sock would make a great Christmas present and they turned out so nice. The Selbu mittens are gorgeous...you are really knocking out your projects this year! Congrats! Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteYour socks are great and will make the perfect Christmas gift. I love the look of the shawl, it looks so cosy and so nearly finished.
