I finished my Olympic Pride socks on February 15, meaning they took just over a week to knit. I'm not sure if it was the stripes, the concentration, the Olympic Magic in the air or what, but damn they went fast.
I left on a business trip on the 16th -- the day after I finished Olympic Pride, so I decided what the hell and cast on another pair to knit on the plane. (Also, it was weird not to have any socks on the needles.)
Meet Olympic Pride II. I didn't finish them during the Olympics (though I came pretty close -- I was on the heel flap of the second sock). I did, however, wrap them up on February 28, which means that I knit 4.5 socks during the month of February. I'd feel a little more badass, but I know that the plane trips contributed significantly to that number.
And then, because it was March 1 and I could (not that it being February had stopped me from casting socks on), I cast on a wee little sweater for my besties' daughter. It didn't count against my total number of projects on the needles for long though, because I wrapped it up the next day. Worsted weight baby sweaters are fast, yo.
I'm going out of town again tomorrow, so of course I cast some more socks on. These are going to be Hermione's Everyday Socks when they grow up.
And lest you think I've forgotten all my old WIPs entirely, I spent the morning working on Multnomah. I'm into 7 of 10 lace repeats and it's done.
So, that's what I've been up to. Tons of Finishing ... just not much that "counts" if you're counting February...which I'm obviously not.
(Having just re-read all of that ... and having fixed some egregious mis-used homophone errors, I realize this post sounds really choppy. If you've actually read this far, thank you and I'm sorry. I have been such a sporadic blogger for so long, I figure any post is better than none. From my perspective, anyway. I totally get why others might not agree.)
