Treading Water

 I don't feel very productive these days but I do have another pair of man socks for the gift box. They are huge. I have no idea why. Same pattern. Same gauge yarn.  Who knows? Who really cares. They will fit someone's feet.


 I now only have my Pandemic socks on the needles and it's going to stay that way. I am not in the mood to juggle too many projects these days.


 I do still have the latest Pimpelliese going on. I am so sorry it's at the point where the stripes are getting elongated. I liked those big chunks of color at the bottom. The busy middle-not so much.



Mosi's sleeve is still happening but it's getting to be a slog. I hate doing colorwork on a small circumference. It's too fiddly. You spend more time untangling the yarn than you do knitting. I'm still slogging on though. I am going to see this one through in a timely manner. I am. Really, I am.

    The blue in your Man socks are wonderful! I have the urge to start another Pimpelliese but I do agree with you that I like the big blobs of color better.
    That Mosi is amazing. I admire you so much for being able to do colorwork like that. Gorgeous!
    Blessings,
    Betsy

    You are very productive! 4 projects shown right here and you are quilting and making soap! I don't know how you find time for all of these creative ventures! You make me feel so lazy! but that's okay, I don't mind feeling lazy! :)

    Loved seeing all of these projects. Now I need to see if I can find that Pimpilliese pattern. I looks like a nice one. Oh, and nice work on matching on the Blue socks!

    You are to be commended Deb on that sweater. I agree that sleeves and color work is a drag. I have not gone down that road in a while! And I'm with you, those socks will fit someone!

    I know what you mean about the sleeves-yarns tangle and you have to hike the whole sweater around and around....it's okay; it's near the last laps now! Great job on the socks!

    Keep 'slogging on'! The pattern is looking so amazing. I can appreciate how fine this work is. A little bit at a time is the way ... before you get frustrated at it. It's surprising how much progress can be made in blocks of 10 minutes here and there...
