So I haven't been doing nearly as much knitting as I would have liked to in the last month. Try as I might, I still haven't finished the second sock. I think it's mostly because I can't actually find it.. I know that it's back in the corner with the rest of my stash but I haven't actually dug it out of the pile... At this rate I might as well give up and call it my mother's birthday present (her birthday is at the end of november) but I really hope that I find it and finish it... even if they are a very un-interesting color of dark grey.
I haven't really been working on my other WIP's... I've com to the conclusion that it's really just too hot to work with anything more then small projects.. I almost got the Tychus Hat thats featured in the latest edition of Knitty done. I really dropped the ball on my dad's christmas present last year and he ended up with this blue garter stitch scarf that was in the end, really lame. So I'm trying to make it up to him and make him a nice hat and scarf set that he can wear at the football games without being embarssed. I really like the horizontal stripes and it's the easiest hat pattern I've seen so it seemed like a good choice! I'm hoping to start the scarf in the next couple of day's so that I can take it with me when I go to ConCentrict next week I will have something to work on. Scarves are the perfect meeting project because they don't require much actual attention while you are knitting them, once you get it started your hands mostly know what to do.
Also got the Yarn Harlot's new book At Knit's End which is an amazing book of meditations for women who knit too much... like there is such a thing. But more on that later, because I need to get to bed if I have any hope of making it to church in the morning.
