This month was kind of a weird one for knitting. I definitely did a lot of knitting overall and it was very exciting to hit a million stiches in a year ! But since doing that I haven’t knit quite as much and even had two days recently where I didn’t knit at all! I’m not too upset about it because I had that one week that was really busy doing that show, and I’ve gotten more into other crafty pursuits.
Most of this month’s knitting will be dedicated to the Shawlography WestKnits MKAL, which starts a week from today! I’m really looking forward to doing that and to diving into something a bit more complex, as all my recent projects have been pretty simple. That is nice sometimes, but I’m kind of itching for something different right now. I did bring my Ace socks on my trip, and I think I’ll finish those over the course of the next few days. I plan to focus mostly on sewing and cross stitch, but it will basically rain the rest of my trip so I’ll have time to mix it up with knitting a bit.
Hope everyone had a good month and has some fun October plans ahead!
All your projects are looking great, as usual!
I really love the colours of the Larksfoot blanket, honestly. You’ve made great progress with the socks as well! (I got to recommend your pattern to someone on ravelry, by the way 😉 ). And the shawl will look fantastic once it’s done!!
I’m really curious how the Westknits MKAL will go – I thought about taking part, but in the end, I’d like to have a look at the finished project first. 😉 Everything else is a little too adventurous. 😉
I love the way your blanket is looking! And I notice that the afterthought everything socks are at the stage where it looks like you’re knitting something other than socks… 😉
… maybe a snake sweater. Or an ostrich cowl.
lol 😂
This year is flying by for me. Once the new school year starts, it may as well be Christmas!
