First post of 2007! I will start off with my Knitting Resolutions so that I can look back this time next year and either pat myself on the back or admit I am a dismal failure.
I want…
- To try some “proper” intarsia
- To knit more socks and not buy any more sock yarn (I managed to decrease my stash before Christmas by knitting presents, and then acquired enough for five more pairs!)
- To finally knit Rogue
- To pluck up the courage to try steeking *wibbles*
- To plan which projects I want to do and when, so that I’m not knitting Christmas presents to a deadline yet again
- To – and this is the BIG one – knit one project at a time
Back to (not) decreasing my sock yarn stash, here are the last couple of Christmas knits:
Pattern: Basic Regia freebie sock pattern
Yarn: Opal Feelings 4ply sock yarn (75% wool, 25% nylon) shade #1703 – 1 x 100g ball
Modifications: I used that splendid heel again! Got to love Opal for men’s socks – these are a UK size 11 – there was still some yarn left over!
Pattern: Gothic Lace socks, my own design (possibly available sometime soon)
Yarn: Rowan 4ply Soft (100% wool) in “Buzz” – 2 x 50g balls
