It’s been 6 days since I got stuck on J3’s socks. I can not find anything to help me understand what I’m doing wrong – so I’m giving up! I’m going to use Knitty’s “Universal Toe-up Sock Pattern” with a short row heel and be done with it! I just want to get it done now and if he’s got big roomy heels – who cares?!?! (well, I do – but as I already said – I’m giving up)
So, Ruth and I joined SAM4 KAL – that’s Sock A Month #4 Knit along – and we’ve been amazed at people who are already DONE with their August socks. So, we challenged each other – well, she challenged me anyway 😉 – to get started today! So here is my proof:
The toes are done on some sock for J3 using Night Lights Superwash Merino from Cavyshops.
And, look!! Birthday books are already here!!!!

Well, I joined a KAL…another one! The Sock A Month 4 KAL is TOTALLY no pressure – just fun! Each month – August-December – you knit a sock! Or not, if you don’t have time. But if you do you can qualify for prizes! So, I’m planning to get some Christmas knitting done – socks, of course – and have fun too! I added a button to the right sidebar if you want to check it out!
Speaking of KALs – Clue #4 is out for MS#3 – and I’m still at 0%. (sigh) I want to knit lace…but maybe my life is just too crazy for it right now. Ruth is coming over today for a little blog help and knitting – so I’m planning to restart it if possible. She also knows about lifelines so maybe she can help me understand how to use them better! I HAVE done lace – but not lace weight yarn! I want to conquer this!!!
The Boxers are coming along VERY nicely! Ashley from my Knitting Group retyped it for us and it’s much easier to read!! Thanks again Ashley!!!
And lastly! I finished the Garterlac Dishcloth!! What fun it was!! Here are some pictures:

Pattern:Â Laura’s Fluted Bannister Socks
Yarn:Â Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Socks, Watercolor
Needles: Addi Turbos, Size 2 (2.76 mm)
Thoughts: Love the yarn, the pattern was great and mindless. I’ll wear them (well, not in THIS heat) but I’m not a fan of the pooling. Did Magic Loop – but cuff-down this time. Still prefer toe-up!
