I haven’t made a ton of progress on my Side by Side sweater but I’ve gotten some work done on it.

I got a little stuck starting section 3 but found that they had done a KAL for this sweater so there are videos on each step. That was helpful and got me going again.

I did do some organization this week. I pulled out all my yarn onto my office couch and slowly put it all away while confirming each skein was in Ravelry. I found one that had been missed (ironically from “Forgotten Fibers”) but everything else was already properly listed. I have a lot of yarn but not so much that I feel overwhelmed by it. I’m not sure how I ended up with so much white yarn (might sell that) but the rest is dominated by cool colors (lots and lots of purple).

I also pulled out some sock yarn from the stash to start a quick pair of Thanksgiving socks. I couldn’t decide at first so I polled my crafty friends with the below picture on which they thought I should work with.

The Birch Grove set won by a landslide so I wound that up and cast on a simple sock. I’m thinking of doing something like the Show-off Stranded Socks by Anne Campbell. I’ve knit them before and the stranded pattern is simple and satisfying. I just want something that I can knit while hanging out with families over Thanksgiving. The sweater is a home project at this point. I’m looking forward to some time off to do some quality knitting. We’ll see if that means sock or sweater. Or both.
