Lately it feels like no matter how much time I put into projects they
just aren't getting done. Every knitting, sewing, or home project feels
prematurely doomed to failure. I could blame the weather but I think I'm
just....bleh. Part of this feeling stems from running out of both yarns
on my Westknits Mystery Shawl very close to the end of the project
and part of it is my inability to focus brought on by stress. I've
managed to get something off and something on the needles in the past few weeks.
Pattern: Colorblock Hand Warmers by Purl Soho
Yarn: Brown Paper Packages Silk & Ivory (emerald, margarita, honeydew)
Needles: US #2 & US #3
Mods: I cast on 48 stitches so that the mitts are snug around my palm and arm. I also worked these from the tips to the wrist so I could use all of my yardage (the yarn comes in 28.8 yard hanks) and knit the thumb in one go instead of going back and picking up stitches.
I also cast on a plain stockinette sock in my self-striping Zombie Apocalypse yarn from Out of Step Dyeworks. This one practically knit itself and I've got the second sock cast on and ready to knit tonight.
