May: Gone Away
I am shaking my head here; where in the world did this month go? I had such high hopes of finishing the lingering Project Spectrum knits on my needles before the month’s end. Alas, my needles are still full of pink, green, and yes, even two blue projects from the last color triad! Some catch up time is desperately needed…
I was right on track with the Shades socks, but then I hit that bump, and never recovered. Second sock is cast on, but I didn’t get back to it because of Wren, and the swap scarf. Seeing Katy’s finished ones makes me realize how much I need to finish my own! One sock to go - I think I can do that fairly quickly.
The Verdant Shrug - my token acrylic project . I worked steadily on this project, although it did not get much blog time. I am almost finished with it - only have to pick up stitches for the ribbed facing, seen here on the pattern. I do like this deep green with the subtle striping.
The Canyon Hiking Socks are coming along too - I am working on the calf stripes right now for sock two.
I won’t be too hard on myself, however: I did manage to finish a pair of socks AND a cardigan in these two months!
…I think it would be wise to clear these knits out before starting some of the bigger projects I have planned for June and July…
Did you reach your pink, green, and yellow goals?
What are you planning for the black, red, and metallics months of June and July?
