So being sorta lost now that I am not pumping things out for the shop I sorta feel in limbo. I have been reading but my knitting mojo was missing for a few days. Me and monkey butt sat down one night and picked a pattern she wanted. She chose owlie socks. Then we went down stair dug through my stash in the girl cave and picked out yarn. It is kertzer bambo I believe. Which was super soft and good to work with.
The bead size isn't exactly what it called for but it is what I had on hand.
Also if you look I messed up on the first owls horns and did the cables backwards each. Oops lol I figure oh well I wasn't going to rip back for it.
I am a process knitting not a project knitter. I love the process and I don't think that every things needs to be perfect that isn't realistic lol. Now I am trying to decide what to knit next. Do you guys have anyway you decide what your next project will be? I hate the feeling of not knowing what to work on now and I get stumped. I would love for you guys to share :)
Those socks look wonderful - and the beads make them extra fun!
ReplyDeleteI am blown by the winds of whimsy in choosing projects. Birthday, Christmas, and other gifts pop to the top as time grows near. I knit a lot of baby stuff (and it's just what strikes me as cute), because it's fast and easy and you get to try cute patterns or fun yarns. Sooner or later, I expect to be able to gift these to grandbabies.
The non-kid stuff I knit is limited. Usually shawls or lacy scarfs. I surf Ravelry daily to check out new patterns and add to faves or queue. Of course, I have something like 1400 faves and 650 items in my queue!
Don't forget, winter comes mighty quick in Minnesota. Maybe you want to knit some cute hat/mitten sets?
good point amy I am finishing my socks I started this winter then I have cals birthday So some body is low on crazy socks :) I have 2 planned :)
