So…hi everyone. Sorry for the long lag in posting that just happened there – a lot of stuff has been happening over here in the Knerd household, and somehow posting just fell off the wayside. Unfortunately, so did my camera, apparently, so I’m not going to be able to show you what I’ve done since we last spoke.<\/p>\n

Not only did I finish the Portuguese Hourglass<\/a> socks, but I started and finished another pair of Pomatomus<\/a>‘s too (I think that brings me up to 4 sets or something).\u00a0 Also, I realized I finished a pair of socks a couple months ago in a pattern I’m writing called Berry Parfait, and I don’t think I ever showed the finished ones to you at all.<\/p>\n

Never fear, though – soon I will unearth the camera and I’ll be able to take lovely pictures of all of these socks hanging out in the garden, amidst the crocuses and chionodoxa<\/a> and anything else that decides to bloom in the next week or so.\u00a0 Actually, right now it’s really just the crocuses going to town, but I have high hopes for the rest of the garden.<\/p>\n

As for the next knitting project…well, I’m still trying to figure that out.\u00a0 The Blanket Thief<\/a> has been not-so-subtly hinting that maybe I should finish the cARGHdigan that I promised him for Christmas in 2009.\u00a0 I’m close too – just some sleeve caps and a button band\/neckband and I’m done.<\/p>\n

Of course, he still has to pick out the buttons, so sometimes I tell him it’s his fault it’s not finished yet.\u00a0 I’m tricky like that.<\/p>\n

I’m also looking for another portable project that uses sock yarn (since I have so much of it), but I’m not convinced at this point that I want to do another pair of socks.\u00a0 I’ve very nearly reached the point that I have enough hand knit socks to last me through an entire wash cycle + spares, and since at this point my sock drawers are plural I’m thinking maybe I should figure out another project that uses sock yarn without actually being socks.\u00a0 Any ideas?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
