How Blue Moon Saved the Day

Can I knit three quarters of a pair of socks in just four days?

Yes, indeed. So far, 2008 is looking pretty good.

It helps that I changed my mind at the last minute and used the December Rockin’ Sock Club Yarn (as soon as I opened the package and saw that it was Medium-Weight and in great colors, I knew that the day was saved). The stitch pattern is taken from the Best Foot Forward socks in Knit Socks! They are all boxed up and on their way north. I don’t think I am giving away too much saying that – pretty much everything is north of here.

The deadline for my other large work-in-progress is a little more relaxed than the last couple have been. After all, what could be more relaxed than a tree skirt I don’t need until next year?

Check out my stylin’ new yarn tote.

I have completed an eleventh of the tree skirt from Handknit Holidays. This is such a pleasant knit, I really love the cables and the super thick yarn. I can put it down at any time to pick up other little projects:

Little projects like baby knits!

    haha, I was scrolling up and down the photos to look for the stylin tote! Now that you’ve put it this way, I’ve got stylin totes galore – mainly shoeboxes 🙂

    Lovely knits! I just adore that latest rockin sock club yarn too. Hmmm soon soon I will cast for those. I need to make it through some things before I go cast on happy again:)

    Happy New Year!

    what a lovely tree skirt 🙂 Although, I think I’d be concerned about all those pine needles falling into it if it was mine (hah!)
    great socks too, Em.

    You are such a good planner! Maybe some of it will rub off on me one day! Love the socks and the tree skirt. I had contemplated knitting the tree skirt this year but never did. What yarn are you using?

    That’s a great looking pair of socks. I love the colors!

    A tree skirt is such a great idea. It never even occurred to me to knit one, but now that I know it can be done, I totally want to make one!

    Nice tree skirt! I have been thinking about knitting one for awhile. You are so smart to start one now. I may have to do a little book/yarn shopping. 🙂
