Keep Calm Craft On

It's been nice getting back into the school routine again. I like the rhythm it gives to the day, even if the house does feel quieter with the children gone. I've still got my littlest for two more days though :-)

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

  1. Ooh those are pretty socks though so even slow progress must be fun to watch the swirl appear!

    1. Thank 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 :)

  2. I 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.

  3. Love this crochet stitch! Though it leaves so many ends to weave in! This blue color of socks is so beautiful!

    1. It'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.

  4. You 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...

    1. Thank you :) I think TAAT socks are worth giving a go, especially if it's a simple pattern

  5. The socks look great, and it is a good idea to do both at once.

  7. Your 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.

  8. I hope your cat continues to improve.
    Love those socks and the sweater. I always knit my socks taat now but I agree, they seem to progress so slowly as a result.
