Here’s a few of my knitting projects lately. I’m making them for Christmas happies for friends.
It’s taken me a couple of tries to get a “pattern” I’m happy with. I’m using #4 dpns & worsted weight yarn.
It’s knit from the bottom up with a special cast on, so they’re are no seams.
I used an applied I-cord bind off when makes a nice smooth edge.
The red ones & the blue & rust one are the latest (and best) so far.
It’s always been funny to me that I can sometimes feel like I am working, working, working toward something and it all feels like such a fight, with no progress at all, until suddenly I land with a thud and I’m there.
It’s the same with knitting projects. I knit and knit and knit and feel like I’ll never, ever be done. I can get so tired of it I have to put it down for a bit, walk away. Then come back and make myself slog through for a bit – promise myself I’ll at least knit 10 or 15 minutes a day on it.
Then I realize I am close to the end and it feels like it was all a breeze.
