Well, true to my predictions I did finish Bee Stripe Jaywalker #1 Friday afternoon (got off work nice and early). And Sunday I even started sock #2, and am halfway down the leg. I will finish this sock before the end of this month. How’s that for a goal? I finished my first pair of socks in two weeks (nothing like the Knitting Olympics for motivation!) and this pair is going to take a month or more. I cast on for #1 April 22.
Once the socks are done, I’m going to start a sweater.
Everyone (it seems) out in blogland is transitioning into summer knitting. Light, airy cotton-silk-linen projects with short sleeves or no sleeves at all. Me? I’ll be knitting a wool-blend long-sleeved sweater. That way, it may just be done in time to wear for the cold weather.
I’ve got my eye on some summery projects, but I’m not buying yarn, so they’ll have to wait until I let myself buy yarn again. And anyway, if I started a summer project right now, it’d be done in time for the snow. Talk to me next February, when I’ll be knitting tank tops and light airy lacy things.
