Knit One, Purl Too: A Knitlog

I am a slow enough knitter, however, that I go through each of the five Project Stages several times before they’re complete.

It’s about giving yourself permission to use the tools and materials you love to expand your knitting horizons and become a better knitter. For the record, I’m in favor of all kinds of Internet surprises, and I begrudge no one their treats, but I want to see your knitting.

Will she finish the socks - ANY SOCKS - in 16 days?

If you’re going to buy only one sock book this year…who am I kidding? No one stops with just one sock book….

It’s just like the moment when you see a ding in your new car, and though you love it in spite of the ding, you love it a little less. Your mind wanders for just a tiny moment to contemplate the next new car, because the car with the ding is now “old”. I’m thinking about new socks.

I love my SockaPal2za socks, I loved knitting socks for my sock pal, but I want to wear a finished sweater in the worst way, man.

What’s next? Dude, I have so many UFOs my mail gets delivered to Area 51.

Now, I’m closing in on the heel, and here is what I know: Fear has no place in knitting; being afraid of screwing something up is your subconscious saying “this is a technique you should practice more.”

We are all about the small knitting victories here at Knit One, Purl Too. And, sock pal? I think you’re getting Koigu - nothing’s too good for you!

I am all about the small gestures, which is why I heart Laurie and her lovely gift of sock yarn. P.S. Opal, I was wrong about you - I think we’re going to have a beautiful future together.
