Knitting Report – February 9, 2018

We’ve been on vacation and my days are all messed up. I totally forgot that today is Friday. You would think I’d have a lot of knitting time but we’ve been busy. Lots of eating and visiting with friends! time! I only brought five projects with me this trip (I usually bring dozens!), but I’ve only worked on one – the Winter Rose Socks.

I figured while riding in the car, I could work on the pink socks (plain vanilla socks) or Sunshine Highway (plain stockinette). Hue Shift and Free Your Fade are good to knit while visiting and the Secret Project . . that can only be done after everyone else is in bed and I’m up by myself.

Patterns Added:

Lovely Sentiment Hat

Yarn Added:

No yarn arrived this week. There will be some next week!  🙂

Projects I Worked On:

Winter Rose Socks – The photo was taken several days ago. I’m down to the heel now.

 

Knitting Plans for next Week:

This is the same list I had last week. Maybe I’ll do better this coming week.

1. Secret Project. There’s a chance I could finish it next week.
2. Knit more Hue Shift squares.
3. Make more progress on Free Your Fade.
4. Try to finish Sunshine Highway.

# of UFOs:

These numbers do not count hibernating projects. Some hibernating projects have not been started but the yarn has been set aside so I keep them in my “projects” for my own ease of planning. Some hibernating projects should be ripped back and forgotten about. These numbers are the projects that really should be finished.
