Click–Click

IMG_3700Anyone remember this picture?  It was on last weeks knitting post where I gleefully announced that I thought the back was finished.

































 Now, here is the real back, finally finished.  Can you imagine how I felt when I finally read the pattern and found that I had miles and miles of knitting to do before the back was finished?  But now it is bound and waiting for the next parts to join it.





















sleeve startedSo I started on the first front.  I would have liked to work two at a time but each side takes 53 stitches and my needles won’t hold that many.  


















IMG_3719I have started up the leg on my gray socks: I will only go up about 3” before binding off so it shouldn’t take too long.















new socksIn fact I was so excited about getting the above done that I started a new pair.  This yarn (no I don’t know what it is) is so soft it is almost difficult to knit.  But I am looking forward to wearing them when it turns cold here.













moon over studioDid you see the beautiful moon last week?  I took this picture as it was headed over our trees.  I call this picture “Moon Over My Studio.”















I hope that by next Friday I will have my gray socks done, one side of my sweater close to finished and the new socks ready for heels.  If that is the case I have a new project I am wanting to try.  Always a good idea to have something on the ready.


Now, have a great weekend.  We have plans both for being busy and getting some rest so we better get started.    Gari

Thanks for posting your knitting. I need the visual encouragement to get back to my first ever pair of socks. I am too dislexic for these circular needles. Good thing I don't need the socks for weather protection this winter.

You are making great progress on your sweater. I switched to circular needles so I could do my fronts together.
I was just thinking yesterday that I'm looking forward to it getting colder so I could start wearing my socks again. :)
Love the color of the new socks. And that moon! Gorgeous photo!

love to see the progress on the sweater and your socks are beautiful I missed the full moon here because it was rainy and now it is getting smaller.

Your gray sweater is looking good. I really like your yarn on the new socks. They will be so colorful. It's a good thing I don't have too many needles available for socks, or I might be tempted to start 2 or 3 pairs at once too. You are sure motivating me to get going on something, though.
