So now that we're eight days into the new year, I've finally found myself with the time to take stock of my life, knitting-wise. I've been more prolific already this year than was in 2007... I'm on the home stretch on a pair of socks and I'm a few inches into a fair isle hat.
The Ravelry queue is nice and tidy, with deadlines and stash yarn picked out for each project. I've got a lot of fun projects planned, and I'm excited. You've got to love a clean slate.
Currently, the socks on the needles are the Merino Lace Socks from Interweave's Favorite Knitted socks. Just before I sat down to type the post I had finished the third gusset decrease on the heel of the second sock, and I'm loving it. The first sock is beautiful, and it's currently resting on the new sock blockers I picked up from The Loopy Ewe. I'm knitting them out of Fleece Artist's Sea Wool, which has been an interesting experience. The yarn just feels like luxury with it's 70% merino, 30% sea cell content. However, when knit up, it's not as soft as I expected. The yarn is also a bit splitty which sometimes makes me bonkers. The yarn and the pattern are a nice fit, though. I'm sure the feel of them will be much improved after their first wash.
