So I figured I'd just pop in for a quickie. (TWSS).
After last weekend's flurry of activity on Hitchhiker, I'm back to working on all the things. I'm nearly to the half-way point on my Litmus Cowl.
I'm loving how the colors are working up. I'm hoping that blocking will fluff up the fibers and straighten out the stitches (no I didn't swatch, don't be ridiculous) because the knitting itself is looking a little wonky and anemic. I live in hope.
On Friday I decided it was time to move the current sock WIP along, so I knit through about half of the foot and nearly finished the toe.
Then Saturday morning I finished it up and and cast on the second. If I hustle, I may turn the heel tonight.
I've given Exploration Station just a little bit of love - maybe I'll get enough done on it this week that there will be something worth showing.
I'm also still plugging away on my granny square blanket. I am closing in on having 30% of the squares done.
So there you have it. Nothing terribly interesting to report - other than the fact that I haven't cast anything new on and am still making progress on my February is for Finishing goals. I don't know if that's interesting so much as unexpected.
Last year I hauled off and cast on three new things during February (one of which I finished during February, so there's that at least). This year any of my mojo that isn't being channeled into my OWL or Mission (that's Exploration Station and the Litmus Cowl for those of you playing along at home) is going into those blankets or the sock.
With a week left in February I feel good about finishing the socks, and expect to have major progress to show on the shawl and cowl. I should also be well and away closer to assembly on the granny blanket too.
The socks might be the only other technical finish this month, but I'll be a lot closer on a lot of things, so it's still a victory of sorts.
