Knitting, not so much. I’m beginning to very much resent all the demands on my time. I was out and about with Em yesterday, and cast on a Liesl for her. I thought it’d be something different, something easy, something quick! Considering my current projects (one Fair Isle, one entrelac, the last in lace), I thought it’d be a good idea.
Nope. My yarn was not chunky enough, so I compensated by going up a size, but it still looked ridiculously small. 2 hours or so of precious knitting time, wasted. R-i-i-i-i-i-p!
That’s not to say that I’ve been ignoring all my current projects. Venezia is now back on track, and I’ve finally gotten her past the stage where she was when I had to frog it.
Now complete with decreases!
I’m glad I ripped it out, because I’m much happier with it now. But I can’t help thinking that I could be so much further along now.
And all my other knitting energy has gone into the entrelac socks.
They look really wide don’t they? It’s okay, they fit my cankles perfectly. If you had nice slim ankles, they’d be a mile too big!
They look complicated, but really, they aren’t. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how easy they are.
We haven’t had a Twinkie shot in a while, have we?
Nice relaxed bunny! (In her messy corner!) Doesn’t matter how often I sweep that corner, she messes it up to her satisfaction again as soon as she can.
Given the level of difficulty of the projects you choose, I think your progress is miraculous! The colours in your Venezia are working very well.
My kids are exactly the same as Twinkie! Those socks are amazing.
Hurray that you have caught up to where you unravelled. It does feel like a huge extra effort. Bad luck with Em’s Liesl.
Hi Twinkie, lovely to see you again, you are far LESS messy than a Labrador!!!!
wonderful socks! i wish that i could be as relaxed as Twinkie!
Fixing up the corner seems to have tired little Twinkie out.
The socks look nice. I love the colors of Venizia.
Venizia is looking good & the socks too. I keep hearing that entrelac is easy but have yet to give it a go. I guess I don’t like picking up stitches.
That entrelac socks look amazing!!! I love doing entrelac but never did it on socks before!!
the socks are truly lovely [I hope along with you that they become softer when you wash ’em] and the Venezia is gorgeous!
Glad that Venezie is back on track – so pretty! Twinkie is such a cutie…
I like your socks alot, much too nice to be hidden in a shoe.
How does Twinkie got with the really hot days like this past Sunday?
liesl is evil, but it will look good on little em. and look at all those pretty colours! and yay i just bought a pouch. if i hadnt bought so much yarn this week i would have bought a matching box as well! next pay day 🙂
Love the entrelac socks. I haven’t tried entrelac yet.
Congratulations on your Etsy store. Will you be shipping to Canada.
Nice peaceful bunny!
