Solstice

 The last few days have been perfectly cold. I say perfectly because I like our usual cold weather with a high in the 30's and lots of sun. It's good dog walking weather and good knitting weather so I finally have some progress to share. It doesn't look like much but I have the first two colorwork pattern rows on the ill fated Eponomuff cowl. This time it all lined up just right. Yay. Me.




 I put one more repeat on the Ghazal Cowl. I have no idea how DH got hers done so fast. I find it a fun knit but a slow one. Maybe it's just this old brain. I dunno.


 Thanks to Kathy B I had to go count my sock stash. Look what I found. Something unusual. I had to see what it looked like so...


....the next thing I knew I had two more socks on the needles. That's six at the moment. I find socks stress relieving and I find the holidays stressful so it's a good thing. Four days and counting. I can't wait to get this Christmas in the books.

  1. Those are all beautiful projects. I just have one pair of socks on the needles, well I guess one sock, because one is done! For some reason I'm not finding them very relaxing right now though. Enjoy your holidays my friend. Blessings, Betsy

  3. The best part of stash-diving is finding old friends in there! lol The socks look great-I love the little Fair Isle stripe!
    I don't know how I got it done because I usually don't like to make scarves even if they are going to be a cowl! The Lionberry shawl is beating me down, if that makes you feel better! Ha!

  4. Your hat is looking great. I know it's worth sticking with projects, but sometimes it's hard!
    I have at least 4 sock projects OTNs. I just can't resist all the beautiful sock yarn!
