I haven't done too much knitting in the past few months. Small things here and there but I started getting horrible motion sick to go along with the morning sickness and even knitting made me nauseous.
Thankfully that has passed and my knitting mojo is slowly returning. I've been working on these socks for quite a few weeks and can see them being done by the weekend! I've also begun work on Ree's granny square afghan using her favorite colors.
I really want to start knitting for baby, but I want to wait until we find out the gender. That is just over 2 weeks away now!
Reading hasn't been happening too much these past months either. Just in the past week though that has seemed to return too. I finished The Orchardist just the other day. I believe I found it through one of Karen's yarn along posts. I enjoyed it. Certainly a different sort of read but I found myself not being able to put it down. I'm in between books right now....I have at least 3 waiting for me at the library so I need to make that one of my stops today!
The socks look awesome! And I love the granny squares. I wish I could make them! I could see many blankets in my future :-) Alas, I will stick to knitting.
ReplyDeleteThose granny squares are so cheerful! Just gorgeous! They're on my list at some point... with all my leftover yarns... eek!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're feeling a bit better. Morning sickness really is just awful.
Ree's blanket is so pretty. I keep seeing all these beautiful crocheted blankets and I don't know how to crochet. I might just have to visit youtube for a few lessons.
ReplyDeleteI loved that book-it was weird but in a very good way! I'm glad you are feeling better and can now pick up where you left off!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your mojo is returning. The socks are great! Baby knitting is so exciting! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteRee's granny square blanket is going to be so cool. I love her favorite colors!
ReplyDeleteRee has very good taste in blanket colors!!! and those sure are happy socks! glad you are feeling a bit better. I hate when my mojo disappears.
ReplyDeleteI have the orchardist on my list from Karen, as well.
ReplyDeleteGreat socks - you don't often get a self-striping yarn that gives nice chunky stripes, I find.
hope you feel totally better soon! Congrads on the baby and hope you can do more as you wish :)
ReplyDeleteWait a minute? Morning sickness? I really have been living under a rock!!! Congratulations!!! So happy for all of you :-)
ReplyDeleteOh - and I love those socks too ;-)
Very cute socks! I just learned to do socks this winter and I really enjoy making them.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I knew I was definitely pregnant w/ my 2nd when I all of a sudden couldn't knit in the car anymore. It took YEARS for me to be able to do that again--and I still can only do it sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of Ree's blanket!
