Ever wish you could knit faster just so you can get finished and move on? That's where I am at. There is nothing actually wrong with the tote-along sock I am working on. It is just not holding my interest. I caught myself, early this morning, hunched over those needles, pushing my hands as fast as they could go. I don't think I actually knit faster though. The final result is my hands ache the rest of the day.
Temptation keeps raising its head...order more needles! It always seems my current projects all use the same size needles. That's not intentional, it just happens somehow. I promised myself last year, two active projects only. Some minor exceptions are allowed but 'not holding my interest' isn't one of those exceptions. So I keep knitting and telling myself, its only 3-4 more days!
When this sock is to the ribbing, I can switch to smaller needles. Then these needles can be casting on the sock I want to knit...the match to the purple and white slip-stitch one from below.
Psst...tote-along sock is just a sock I keep in a small tote that goes along(ha!) with me anytime I leave the house. Ideally it wouldn't be worked on at home but there is that pesky, not enough needles, issue happening. My spare needles in this size broke, a few weeks back.
