Sleeve Season.

I am really enjoying the way I am approaching knitting right now.  I knit something entirely different on the weekends.  It is fun and is giving me good progress on more than one thing.

Friday I finished the body of Cassies sweater.

Isn't that a neat finish?  I debated about adding a few more stitches to the rolled edge, but went with the pattern. 

After that, I couldn't make up my mind.  I pulled out a few things and ended up working on the socks.  And this happened.

I didn't want too long a cuff.  I am a bit concerned about running out of the multi colour.  That ball of yarn feels small relative to the plain green.  

I did try something different here. My sock assist tools keep coming apart and Keith says some of the socks are pretty tight over my heel.  I wanted to make the sock a bit deeper over the heel to see if that helps.  

I made a gusset by doing 4 increase rows right before the heel.  Then I knitt the heel using those extra stitches and after the heel was done, decreased those same 4 extra stitches.  Time will tell if it helps.

I also knit on the blue sweater this weekend but not so much that you would notice.  My hands kept going back to the sock, which is how I finished it.  It's been a while since my hands couldn't stay away from a sock!  Maybe I should knit only socks for now?  Nope.  Not going to happen.  I need to make sleeves on Cass's sweater so I can get back to my own Lusk sweater sleeves.  It is well into fall now and I would love to have a new sweater to wear.  It's sleeves season I guess.  Maybe a vest will be next?  No sleeves.  Hmmmm
