New Elastic Sanity Segment

Hello!  I've been hoping to get blogging here more frequently but it just didn't happen over the summer.  My life exploded, as it seems to every summer! lol.  Of course I should have predicted that, but I seem to have selective memory. :P

My tagline is "Crafting daily to retain sanity in a stressful world."  Every wonder what has me so stressed?  I used to do a blog for a while about all the weird random stuff that happens in my home

I decided that I didn't like the gauge if my In Time And Space cabled shawl. It was going to be rather small for me and I made plenty of handspun / handdyed yarn for this project. I set it aside and I cast on again, this time with size 8 needles. I'm happy that the cables are still promenant but the shawl

Socks again!

I loved knitting my last pair of socks so much that I cast on another pair. I'd been overworking myself so I'm taking a day or two to take it easier than I normally do. This means mindless knitting and binge watching tv shows. :). 

Socks -finished!

Huray!  I finished my socks and now I have 5 pairs of socks for my drawer!  

Socks

I had been on hiatus from listening to my favorite podcasts for a while.  I recently started listening again.  One of my favorite podcasts is The Knitmore Girls and they have an ongoing contest called #OperationSockDrawer .  Hearing this again resounded with my love for sock knitting and desire to get more than three pairs of hand-knit socks in my drawer, so I got to knitting.  Unfortunately I've been extremely busy with my kids and family life recently so I've not had the time for knitting that I'd like.  These socks have mostly made progress on-the-go.  But today I am finally turning the heal on the second sock!  A new finished pair is just around the corner. :)
