And cooks, and creates

My old knitting blog fell out of use when my professional blog took up my time (and Ravelry took over my knitting). I'm reusing it now as a place to keep creative notes & endeavours fresh and reachable for my own use.

Rambing and planning

I'm at this interesting point in my knitting, where I'm working on things that are all almost complete. I have four squares to knit - one is half completed. I am 28 rows from finishing my sweater (approximately 1 week if I stay on track). I'm on the second sock of the Fixation pair - and two inches down on the cuff now (I'd estimate two to three weeks to complete). So still in the "to be done" list:

-Pair of half-fingered gloves & matching scarf for friend Jim who got me the yarn to knit them with
-The sweater vest from Knitpicks - I'd like to get this one done by the time fall rolls around
-Pair of socks for Daddy - no pattern or yarn picked out yet but I'm working on it - he wants thick wool socks, so I'm going to go through the stash & see what I can find. If nothing is in the stash, I might save up and pick up a skein or two of Trekking & make his socks out of that.
-Pair of socks for Joel. No clue yet what he'll want but I'm sure I've got something appropriate in the stash!

Toss in the assorted xmas presents, to include a sweater for the wanna-nephew (he's walking now!), various & sundry felted bowls, some handspun rug yarn for Tom's mother, and some scarves / hats for whomever. I think I'm booked through the end of the year now!
