Oldest WIP No Longer
These were cast on nearly a year ago -- sometime last February, I think. (Pre-blog, in any event.)
Maybe I should have a goal of finishing (or acknowledging the abandonment of) all knitting projects within a year of casting on?
Now my oldest WIP is Posy. I'm terrified that she'll have the same problem as Freya. I'm too scared (or lazy?) to pick her up and just measure.
Anyway, handspun socks for Dulaan:
Was so busy trying to avoid holes at the join of the second heel (these were knit flat, then seamed, then the toes and heels added) that I forgot to check what sort of heel I did on the first one.
So, totally different heels!
But I like them.
My desperate urge to cast on some Socks that Rock carried me through these, and most of the way through the grey and red "prime rib" scarf I haven't yet shown you -- also for Dulaan, unless the Doctor snags it.
Now that urge is passed.
Now I only have the urge to finish the prime rib scarf.
Rather, that is, than working on the knitting I *really* should be doing -- i.e., the things that actually have deadlines: V's scarf, the green Weasley, the Dale zippered hoodie.
Ah, well. Go with the flow.

Love the socks...I like mine to be little sock individuals. You are gonna be Sock Rockin' soon, I think!
Ang
I *love* the mis-matched heels; quirky little things like that just add to the charm of hand-made items, I think.
