I'm flitting through my projects at the moment, not really concentrating on anything. I wanted to get the first sleeve of Mr Soaring Sheep's sweater finished at the weekend but we had other things to deal with when one of the cats was ill (yesterday's post explains more)
As you can see she's looking much better. She was very poorly on Saturday morning whereas now, apart from some bald patches where she was shaved, she looks the same as normal. She's having a check up at the vets on Thursday so hopefully they'll be pleased with her progress.
Today I'm planning on doing some more work on these socks for Mr Soaring Sheep. I find TAAT socks frustratingly slow to show progress but at least once I cast off they'll both be finished so no "Second Sock Syndrome".
I'm rather in the mood to cast on another hat. I'd better get a move on with my other projects first though. Startitis does seem to be developing lol
Linking up with Nicole's Keep Calm Craft On
Ooh those are pretty socks though so even slow progress must be fun to watch the swirl appear!
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I'm actually quite happy with the progress I made today. Spent a good hour working on them this afternoon while my little girl had some quiet time doing jigsaws and playing on the computer :)
DeleteI think Fall is the cause of Startitis. The cooler weather makes of dream of all the knits we want to wear and of course we want them all now - right? Glad to hear your kitty is better.
ReplyDeleteYes I think you're probably right. Thank you :)
DeleteLove this crochet stitch! Though it leaves so many ends to weave in! This blue color of socks is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's a pretty technique isn't it. I think I'm either going to do tassels or sew the blanket onto a fleece backing and hide the ends inside.
DeleteYou picked such cheerful colors for the blanket and the sock! I've never knit two socks at a time, maybe I should try that and see which one I prefer...
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I think TAAT socks are worth giving a go, especially if it's a simple pattern
DeleteThe socks look great, and it is a good idea to do both at once.
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteLove the yarn you used for the socks!
ReplyDeleteThanks, it's from Mothy and the Squid on etsy :)
DeleteYour blanket is so zippy! Poor kitty. I'm glad she's better but she's looks so still and disgruntled. I hope it's an uplifting report at the vet today. I am seriously considering TAAT socks after this charity pair. I think ahead to oh gosh, another sock to go after this one's done.
ReplyDeleteI hope your cat continues to improve.
ReplyDeleteLove those socks and the sweater. I always knit my socks taat now but I agree, they seem to progress so slowly as a result.
I hope your cat continues to heal and improve!! lovely knitting and it's okay to be flitting around, it was a stressful week :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that the cat is improving. Enjoy your crafting in the meantime. xx
ReplyDeletei love all the energetic colours that you use in your knitting !!! Hugs and more hugs to your dear cat.
