Socks done for the day. It feels good to know that I am on track for my very generalized target. My next up socks will not be simple plain socks, but they are not going to be my proposed Monkey socks either. I am thinking of doing a pair of Broken Seed Stitch Socks . I could use another pair.
As much as I am feeling spring, the weather sounds like winter. The wind howled like it wanted to be a blizzard, though it was not. I picked up the Linger sweater yesterday. Knitting it made me feel warmer.
Good news! It is starting to feel like it is moving along briskly. It feels like a sweater.
It is a very simple knit and I am having a lot of fun with it even though the yarn combo I am using makes it heavy in my hands. I have to knit only a few rows a day to take care of my hands but even so it is coming along.
I am getting about four inches for each of the Galway Heather skeins.
I should easily be able to get to the length I wanted.
I am debating about knitting the sleeves at the end of this Galway skein because of this.
I have only four of the grey left and I have no idea how much each sleeve will use. Half Fisherman's Rib, like its compatriot, brioche and patentsteek, takes more yarn than a plain rib. I am allotting one full skein for each sleeve and I do hope that is enough.
I have tons of the blue teal. I think I had twenty four balls of it and I have fifteen remaining. Any ribbing I do, can easily be in the teal held double. No worry about running out of it.
The wind is howling again today and there was a skiff of snow over night. I want to knit on Linger again but I am not sure my hands can take much. Not sure I feel like the Noro and Silky Wool creation I am working on so I may knit on another little something today. I do have choices. Lots of choices in the WIPs bin. I might surprise myself.
