I finished my Happy Socks the other day! I am so happy with them. I love the yarn. So bright & cheery. And I have plenty left over to make a certain little girl a pair too (as I was so sweetly reminded as soon as both were on my feet).
I'm also working on her Easter sweater. So far I've ripped it out TWICE. First because I knew it was knitting up too small and I also wasn't pleased with the pattern. So I found a new pattern and had JUST divided for the sleeves when I realized I was making the 18 month size not the size 4. Oh how I was so upset with myself. But I took it out and started over and now I like both the size & the pattern. Due to sock knitting and the troubles with Ree's sweater I haven't picked up my February Lady in over a week. I think it's time to focus on the sweaters!
For reading I'm in the middle of books right now. I just finished Project Based Homeschooling yesterday. We went to the library last night & I picked up a few new ones but haven't had a chance to start one yet!
Happy socks is such a great name for your pretty socks.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, that is a big size difference, but at least you are on the right track now. I am knitting an Easter sweater too, but my problem hoping the weather is cool enough to wear it!
three's a charm! I bet it's going to be a beautiful sweater when completed. Now those socks! I love the colorway and they would make me happy if I owned them :)
ReplyDeleteI adore your new choice in sweaters!!!! well worth the start over; she'll wear that one a long time!!! and those socks sure were appropriately named.....they are the happiest ones i've seen in a long time!!! (and a mommy/daughter matched set---yeah!!!)
ReplyDeleteI love those socks! Great color. I'd be so frustrated to rip out the sweater twice. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteI hope those wonderful happy socks make up for all the agony you've had with your other knitting!
ReplyDeletethose socks are so fun! i really should try to my hand at knitting some {again}.
ReplyDeleteI love these! So happy, indeed! I want to read Project Based Homeschooling, but can't find it locally. Not sure I want to buy it, so I'm waiting for a copy to come to the library. Did you enjoy it?
