Last night, at roughly 9:00pm, I finished the socks I’ve been working on since October.
It’s not really fair to say they took that long. I started the first one in October, got sidetracked repeatedly, and finished it a day or two after Christmas. The second one was started a day later, and finished just over three weeks later.
Now, I am without project. Tonight at knitting guild, I mentioned I could only focus on one thing at a time, and the other members were aghast. Really, I like to work on one thing because I don’t want to be distracted, and if I wait too long to work on the second item, what’s likely to happen is that I’m going to forget details I need to remember. However, if I don’t let myself play with other things in the meantime, I forget whatever ideas I had while I was trying not to be distracted. As has happened in this case.
Your socks look lovely. I remain amazed by your level of talent (I can’t even figure out which way to HOLD knitting needles). Perhaps you should keep a knitting journal to jot details and ideas down in?
Now, about that gingerbread cookie shipment…
I just love that red color! Congrats on finishing the socks.
