Kninja Knitter

Another #MarkItMonday and a new week in the #YearOfProjects – I started making a list of the projects I want to make this year. I do need to assess my stash situation, as I believe I have a couple sweater quantities of yarn, maybe more. But here’s where I am after another week of knitting.

I finished the “other” pair of socks I shared last week.

And I finished the hat I had started in January, completed on the 31st to meet the deadline!

I also finished the first sleeve for my current sweater WIP, and started the second sleeve.

I knit up the second wedge of a circular shawl/blanket. This features a colorway I knit with before.

Having finished projects, that means I could start some more. As a part of the Laura Nelkin Q1 KAL, I knit up a dishcloth pattern. I’m planning to crochet a loop to put the ends to use, and I will be knitting a larger version this week.

A new month means a new Desert Vista Dyeworks sock!

And my last cast on is going to take a little while to finish. Similar to the Musselburgh hat by Ysolda Teague, this one starts at the crown in the round then creates a long tube followed by decreases to form a duplicate crown so the whole piece can be folded in and doubled up.

I have a busy week as usual with choir rehearsals, movies, a haircut appointment, and a board meeting to lead (preparing for that today). Oh, and my grandson should be visiting on Friday. Plus Orangetheory classes – I’m putting in a lot of effort into this year’s Transformation Challenge, though three classes or more a week is my usual schedule. I’m tracking my macros, upping my water intake AND doing much better at getting my steps in. The walking pad in my living room helps with that last one! Last week I put a ton of effort into my three workouts. On Friday, my arms were still very sore from Wednesday’s strength class!

Back to my knitting now…

Knit on. 🧶
