These are the completed socks for Tom. I was hoping to drive up and see him this weekend… but I suspect the wind might push my little Neon car past his place altogether! So the socks get a truck ride via Canada Post. *sigh*
Yes, I have started a lovely plain grey sock for myself… and I’ve also started a shawl.
Our local knitting guild: Elgin Knitting Goddess’, are doing a knit-a-long of this seemingly simple shawl. Just a six row repeat. So a pattern was handed out. Cool! I thought I’d use a sock yarn I had picked up in Toronto at the Creative Festival a couple of years ago.
A few dozen ‘un-knittings’ later and some cross discussions resulted in some interesting similar mistakes. I’ve sorted mine out to just be a four row repeat, while others have altered the sixth row from a knit on the wrong side to a purl. I look forward to seeing our glorious shawls side by side.
