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!
I’ve used a stylin yarn tote like that before! I always seem to have an abundance of cardboard boxes, but no empty project bags.
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 🙂
Those socks look awesome! I might just have to follow your lead and dig my skein out..
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!
Hooray for baby knits! There’s nothing like knitting for your own little one!
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.
can’t wait to see more of your baby knits. when are you due?
Gorgeous socks. The baby knits look very pretty!!
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!
LOL! Your stylin’ totes look a lot like my stylin’ totes. Nice looking socks!
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. 🙂
