Having said that I'm not really knitting much because I'm not enjoying my current projects particularly but I want them finished before I'm allowing myself to cast on anything else! I'm desperate to cast on a sweater for me, maybe I'll get some yarn for it in the post-Christmas sales as a reward for finishing my other projects lol.
I've got another pair of socks to share today. These are knitted using a colourway called "Berry Splash" from Devon Sun Yarns. Mr Soaring Sheep bought it for me as a surprise present :-)
I cast these on at the end of August when I was getting over a nasty ear infection. I wanted something simple and pretty to knit and these fitted the brief.
I like how the colours merge together, so pretty :-)
My current WIP is still these TAAT socks. They have grown since I last shared them but not a lot. Maybe I'll feel better about them when I've got past the heels
I think this afternoon I'll sit down for a bit with a podcast to watch and try to get to the start of the heels. The sooner I put some time into them the sooner I'll be able to finish them and cast on something new.
Anyone have any tips for motivating yourself when you're not enjoying a project?
Linking up with Yarn Along and Keep Calm Craft On
The best ways for me to motivate myself to knit are to either stream something I enjoy (just finished Grace and Frankie on Netflix) or listen to an audiobook.
ReplyDeleteI love the stripey socks. The colors are gorgeous!
love the striped socks!! I am on the hunt for some big stripes in socks, I guess I have to buy on line, in the stores they don't carry what is in my imagination.
ReplyDeleteAs one knitting friend clued me in on: the power of candy! Specifically M&Ms. She 'rewards' herself with an M&M every time she finishes a row.
ReplyDeleteFabulous socks!
ReplyDeleteThose socks look amazing, I am always in awe and do so wish that I could do socks.
ReplyDeleteI like how that first sock yarn is dyed. The stripes are clean but not typical where it's just one color.
ReplyDeleteI love Devon sun yarn and that colourway is splendid. If I'm not enjoying a project, I put it down for a bit.
ReplyDeleteLove the berry splash yarn, very nice.
