Last year saw a bit of a knitting hiatus for me. I only manged to knit 1.5 pairs of socks in a whole year. Crazy! Well my New Years Resolution for this year was to get back into doing all the things I love. Running regularly, baking (you might have gathered that from previous posts this year!) and knitting to name a few.
Last year I manged to start and finish these lovely Betula Socks by Rachel Coopey. They were a Christmas gift for a lady I work for and well received.
I also started My Cup of Tea Socks by Robin Lynn back in July. They then sat at this stage of Sock 1 in my knitting bag until ......... well, mid January, I am ashamed to say. But no more! The knitting mojo has well and truly returned. That is, when my cat will allow it, as he doesn't care to share a lap with hand knit socks.
I am totally chuffed with myself, as the pair is now finished, ready for the arrival of Spring, which the colours remind me of. The motif down the front is based on a Crocus pattern,
Quite apt as the Crocus are starting to open in the gardens around me.
So I aim to finish some more of my WIP's (work in progress) in the coming months, that have been languishing for far too long, including this Ariel Bias Scarf, which I started back in 2012. Ooopps!
Then again, there are lots of lovely new patterns to try in my Ravelry Library. Oh the dilemma.
Happy knitting!
