Sock Project – Day 11

Eleven days in and I actually have 8 socks completed!  Not exactly 1 sock per day but pretty darn good, considering it took me three days to do the first one.

I’ve become a little obsessed with making things and my house is truly showing the lack of care.  

  • Problem 1 – I came home from camp and immediately began knitting - completed the second orange tones verrugated sock last Sunday.  Result – camping bins everywhere!
  • Problem 2 – Monday (Nov 23) -resolved to do a quick tidy before knitting.  Didn’t do said tidy.  I made a green sock instead.  Nice sock.  Loved watching Heroes.  No tidy.
  • Problem 3 – Brownie night on Tuesday and had to unearth Brownie gear from under pile of Camping gear.  More mess created.
  • Problem 4 – Girls night on Wednesday.  I made second green sock.
  • Problem 5 – Thursday, attempted tidy but found my yarn bin – which quickly spread around room.
  • Problem 6 – Friday – went to candle party (and knitted) – red tones verrugated Wool/Poly blend.  Nice sock. 
  • Problem 7 - This weekend I should have cleaned.  Did I?  NO!  My house is a disaster.  I’m ashamed.  It makes me ill to look at. 

Answer – Clean tonight!  Clean tonight!  Not allowed to knit second of the fingering weight Bernat Sox yarn socks in lovely blue.  Clean Damnit!

My updated Project List: (I guess I hope my family doesn’t see this)

  • 16 pairs of socks (4 pair completed)
  • 1 crochet Caplet (have yarn, need time – Happy Hooker pattern)
  • 1 happy hooker red hat (have yarn, ripped out last effort, need to re-start)
  • 8 kids hats (easy peasy helmet pattern, just add crochetted ears – sooo cute!)
  • 2 pair phentex slippers (Found some in my last year’s pile.  Done!)
  • 3 ideas for something else for 1 sister and 2 brothers in law (might end up being another pair of socks)

How’s that for a schedule?
