I have been sadly lacking when it comes to knitting.
These poor socks have been in progress for nearly a whole year, and I’m STILL NOT DONE with them. It’s not that I don’t like the pattern. I love the pattern. These socks fit me the best of any I have knit myself. (I know this because of how well the first one fits. The little bitty cables make the fit perfect without being uncomfortably stretchy. I can’t wait to wear them.
And the pattern isn’t hard, nor is it boring. It has enough interest to keep me happy and not-bored, but is simple enough that I can easily memorize it.
So why has it been sitting unfinished for so long? (I started them during the Summer Of Socks 2007. It is now the Summer of Socks 2008.)
Well, first I got caught up in Christmas knitting. Then birthday knitting. Most recently, I decided not to risk losing my knitting needles on the airplane. (As in having TSA decide to confiscate them. The joy of using 2 circular needles is knowing you won’t accidentally drop one.)
I think my Biggest Summer Goal (at least as regards crafts) must be to finish these socks. ASAP.
I might be able to wear them by Thanksgiving.
