2013 Spring Cleaning #4 Update

blocking in the hotel room

I just realized that I never published any photos of the pre-finished shawl on the blog!

Sorry about the horrid picture. I finished the last of the knitting on the plane to and at SOAR. I ran back to the room between evening events to block the shawl the night before I had to turn it in. So not only was this photo taken on my phone, it was in a dimly lit hotel room.

Good thing I had a large room to myself, even if it was covered in mold and mildew. (It was a fun asthma filled week.)

A big thank you to Jen for bringing her blocking wires for me. I didn’t want to fly with mine.

2013 Spring Cleaning #4

Circle of Life Shawl. The edging is still not done. I am mostly through section 2…of 8.

Decision

Keep Knitting!

I am vested in this project. I’ve just been too tired at night to work on lace these days. I need to set aside some time each week to work on it. I want it finished by fall.

HoleySocks

These socks have been sitting in my mending drawer for many years. I know I’m never going to mend them. They are now in the garbage can. They never made it back inside the house after the photoshoot.

Majority of these are Koigu socks. I love Koigu but they don’t make long wearing socks, at least, not for me. The few pairs of hand spun socks in there were painful to toss as well, but they gave me lots of pleasure from spinning, knitting to wearing.

What do they all have in common, aside from the holes? They are all 100% merino. ‘Nuff said.
