Restless

Since finishing the socks for my father, I have been feeling very restless. I can’t really decide what to do next. I have a lot of ideas for new projects, but am not sure whether to start any of them because of other things that are going on outside of my fiber world that might take my time and attention away from them. Every feel like that?

Not that I have been sitting idle. I went back to finish the merino roving in the Maldives colorway from Hello Yarn Fiber Club. After the single broke on me once too often (my fault,) I decide I was done with the project and plied what I had. This is the result.

It is about 100 grams. I figure it to be a fingering weight. In any case, it is done.

I have one of the Koi Pond socks done. This is just my basic knitting; but, boy, is the yarn soft. It is Dave’s merino and nylon blend. Cushy!

Also, the yardage on this yarn is great!

And I am almost done the first of the Coriolis socks. I am using Claudia’s Handpaints in the Boot Camp colorway.

I am not sure how I feel about this sock. It amounts to the same basic knitting that my other socks that I am working on are. And the increase every round means that there is some elasticity that is lost due to the stitches. I will have to try it on tonight to see how it worked out.

Now, what to do, what to do, what to do?

  2. I know exactly how you feel. Only there are so many projects I want to do and I’m so indecisive that I end up in a tizzy. Or I can’t seem to find a project that fits my mood. Lately I’ve been wanting something semi-mindless, but I haven’t been able to settle on a pattern and a yarn that go together.

  3. I love Dave’s merino/nylon blend and it looks wonderful in Koi. Your merino yarn looks pretty, what will it become? I had no idea that Coriolis would have less elasticity and I appreciate know that before I decide to make them.
    I am on a bead knitting kick myself right now, so I feel your restless.

  4. I love your handspun!
    I vote you start a new knitting project. After all, you can’t have too many WIP’s, can you? Oh, wait, I’m drowning in them… don’t listen to me.
