Finished Something!

I finished another project! Can you guess what it is?
And you thought I was going to say I finished Hardangervidda! Ok, you’re probably not that gullible. This is the latest pair of socks for Katie (who turns 3 on friday. Happy Birthday!) and she’ll get them at her birthday party on Sunday. How geeky is it to give your kid handknit socks? I don’t know, but I know she’ll love them.
So now I’ve got Mike’s secret-socks to work on, Hardangervidda (not a travel project), and moss-n-cable cardigan for Katie, which is so far a good travel project except for the fact that I haven’t memorized the pattern yet and get really confused when I go to work on it. That doesn’t sound like nearly enough things going on. I’ll finish the secret-socks pretty quickly if I don’t sneak in another travel project. Since I had the deadline on the rib-n-eyelet socks above for Katie’s birthday, I used my spare knitting time in the evenings on those. I will probably start to focus heavily on Hardangervidda so I can get it done. Thinking about the finishing on it: 3 more steeks to sew/cut; picking up stitches for the neckband, sewing in the sleeves. It seems a bit intimidating. I will get it done, and soon! I have more exciting sweaters to knit and finish.
Who Reads this Crap? :)
Every now and then I pop on over to the statistics part of my blog maintenance pages, to see who is reading my blog. In the past Ingrid’s blog has been the largest referrer, but a few clicks from this blog: The Spinning Goth, showed up today. I always love finding new blogs to read.

It’s always fun to see where people are coming from. I followed a referred from link and found your blog. [grin]
Love the socks. Love that you worked them by instinct instead of following a pattern. You have truly grokked sockness!

Katie’s socks are so cute. You did a great job! I can’t wait to see Hardanervita finished. I always come over from the link on Ingrid’s blog. I have to read hers first. :)

You might get more references from Ingrid’s blog if she had time to write something there. :) Soon, I promise! That jacket is almost done and then I’ll have motivation for a picture.
