The sock foot looked awfully short even for my stubby feet but all is good. I tried it on this morning and it is just fine. I am looking forward to this pair.
All day, I was thinking "Why aren't you working on your sweater doofuss?" I had no idea because I am only one sleeve trim away from a finished garment. To be so close and not pick it up because you are distracted by other things is.... so very me. It is how I end up with 16 WIPs after all.
But by the end of the day, I had settled down
and did a decent bit of work in a very short time. Even with all the ends to be woven in, I will be finished by lunchtime.
I am at the point where I ought to be working on another of my WIPs considering it is Finish it February or so I am told. If I waited to cast on something new just because someone told me that I could only finish things in the WIP bin, I would never ever get anything done. I would end up feeling very downhearted and miserable. I would end up not knitting. It would all feel like work and that is just not what I want out of February. Or knitting. I knit because it brings me joy in a hundred little ways and whatever journey a garment goes on, I just want to be there for the ride. The journey is more than half the fun.
At the same time, I wish I were a Finish it February kind of person, aka a more monogamous knitter. I admire those of you who are. At the same time as I am thinking how much I admire knitters who are inspired by the thought of Finish It February, my brain is going "Just think of all the things I could start if I had room in the WIPs bin!"
More monogamous sweater knitters seem to be much tidier and more organized than I. I am more like chaos but a good sort of chaos, a chaos of dreams. That is me and my knitting. I am just going to keep on wandering, enjoying every step along the way.
