Finally Finished The Plunge

In 2007 when I was still relatively new to knitting I learned to knit socks. I knit them on two circular needles. I began knitting two at once, then realized I could finish faster knitting one at a time. I also learned to mark my rows, instead of inches, to get two socks of the exact same length. I joined the original 52 Pair Plunge. I did not finish my pairs within a year which was the goal. But last night I did finish the 52nd Pair and I still feel the achievement was worth the effort - despite the late completion date.

This is the very last sock of my 52 Pair Plunge.

I love watching the picture develop. I prefer fair isle patterns with the look of tapestry. I sometimes think I was born in the wrong century. I am reading one of Monica Ferris' needlecraft Mysteries, Knitting Bones. It is like sneaking away at lunch time to chat with knitting friends.

What I did Over My Blog Break

Yes, that's what you think it is.

I did a quick run down of some of the knitting I did during my unintentional blog hiatus. Check it out.

Also, I need you guidance. I have decided to save money and time by not going to the hair salon to get my hair washed and set. I was spending way too much - money that could be spent on YARN (or groceries). I got a bonnet hair dryer and some big rollers and my first attempt to roller set my hair was . . . interesting. Do you have any tips, links, sugestions that may help me out? Thanks!

Chuva

Hi, ladies! Yes, it has been over a year since my last blog post . . . whoops. Let me catch you up . . . I knit a lot, I designed my first pattern and I am giving away the pattern with any size donation to Big Brothers and Big Sisters. Check out my blog for more details.

Whew, that wasn't so bad. Why don't I blog more often?

Making Progress

I finally took pictures of my Austermann Step socks and blocked my Forest Canopy Shawl in Wollmeise Hollerstaudn colorway. I also found a super easy hat pattern on one of my really old HGTV tapes. I whipped one up for my sister in brown to go with the scarf I gave her for Christmas. I am still trying to finish my Magnolia Afghan in Tudor Homespun, and several shawl projects. I am spending much less time online, and it shows in the number of finished objects. The time I spent taking photos and making posts today catches me up a little bit.
