Other stuff

I haven’t started on my tank and don’t see it coming anytime soon. It’s been an unbelievably busy week and I haven’t had much time for knitting. I’m taking 7 days off from work and prepping for it almost makes me regret taking so much time. Almost. I know it’ll be worth it but for right now I’m stressed.

I did start a French Market Bag by Polly Outhwaite. I knit one of these years and years ago (2010) and still use the bag on a regular basis so it felt like time to make another one. So far it’s just a circle. The color is nice though! This is the West Yorkshire Spinners Wild Shetland in rolling hills that my parents brought me from Scotland. It’s 100% shetland wool so I’m thinking it will felt nicely. Although the downside of felting it is that I have to knit it oversized to have it end up where I want it to.

I also went by my local yarn store (Warm ‘n Fuzzy) and picked up some sock mini’s to add to my collection for the beekeeper’s quilt. It had been a terrible day so I was happy to indulge in some retail therapy. These will make some beautiful hexipuffs.

  1. LOVE your minis. Great colors. Don’t know what you do but hubby and I learned years ago to always take at least 2 wks off. Seems work can always “wait” a week for the vacationing person to return but usually can’t wait 2 weeks. Thus we didn’t come back to quite so much catch up work.

    • I would love to take 2 weeks off at once but I’m not sure I’d be able to get clearance for that. Good for you and your hubby!
