Paper Moon Socks

 

I had started these socks during last year's Month O'Socks, which would be February 2012. I finished the first sock in March. But then the second Sock Syndrome struck with full force, and off went this project into hibernation. I only took them out this week so that these could get done before this year's Month O'Socks. This pair is for my father, who really appreciated the first pair I knit him. He has been wearing that pair continually throughout the winter and got it promptly repaired when it developed holes. Hopefully, he will get good use out of these too. The pattern is OK, the details on the ribbing section being missing. I used Knitpicks Stroll Tonal (Kindling) for these socks.

And as you have probably already guessed, my next project is also going to be a pair of sock, or may be two, during the Month O'Sock (Feb 15-March 15). I think I will have a jump-start and start this weekend.

On The Needles

Life has been busy and I have not had much time to knit lately. So today, I do not have any finished project and will be sharing two of my ongoing projects instead. The first one is the Paper Moon Socks I blogged about previously. I finished the first sock but am bored with the pattern and it will be some time before I start the second one. This pattern takes a long time to grow and I was totally lost in the heel section instructions.

The second project is a pinafore, anouk for my littlest. I am just about to finish the back. I was inspired by some ravelry projects to add stranded colorwork hearts, instead of the original pockets. Hopefully, I will have this one done during the next week.

Month O'Socks: Wind Up

The Month O'Socks ended a few days ago and I managed only the foot section of another sock. I ran into sizing trouble with the pattern I started on before this one and lost a considerable amount of knitting time. This pattern is going smoothly,  Alhamdolillah. But I am a bit bored with knitting at the moment and am slowing down for a while, waiting to be inspired again. Maybe I'll try some embroidery for the time being or some beaded crochet..or..cooking....!
