Have a Merry Time

It’s that time of year. I hope you are enjoying some holiday cheer. Best wishes to you and yours.

I have knitting plans, of course, for the holiday. Plans to finish a few things.

This hat, a Two Triangle Hat made out of chunky weight left-overs.

Today I am going to block this sweater. There, it’s in writing, now I have to do it. Wait, I’ll just go run water into the sink … there that’s done, now it’s going to happen. It’s one of those double stranded mohair + wool sweaters and I’m a little nervous about washing and blocking. Have you done this? Did it work out ok?

Another sweater that I started waaay back has sleeves to finish. I am knitting them 2 at a time, my new favourite way. Of course you wouldn’t know that since it’s been sitting for a while but I am looking forward to doing the sleeves.

Then there is the Christmas sock gift that I have to finish pretty smartly. These I’m knitting in the helical way with 3 colours. I am enjoying watching the colours come together.

Phew, after all of that, I might, just might, start a pullover for my grandson. I have the yarn on my desk and it is calling to me.

In January I am going to knit another vest. I have an idea, which may or may not work, but that’s the fun of it.

See you on the other side. Happy New Year, 2024, yikes!
