Kninja Knitter

I’m less than two weeks away from my vacation and I’m getting VERY excited! Last week I reached out to my boss and another colleague who are both based in Dublin, and we arranged to meet for dinner. The colleague has “promised” me many a pint over the years, so I shall be collecting, though on a small scale, lol.

Yesterday I shared some fun photos and details about our zoo trip on Saturday. You can read about that here. Any adventure with the munchkin is a delight, but as a big fan of the Columbus Zoo (and zoos in general), it was special to me.

With another #MarkItMonday upon us, I have two FOs and a WIP to share from last week. On Friday I managed to bind off the test knit shawl – I shared last week that the pattern, Coloring Lines, had been released with a discount code that was open for only a couple days.

I also finished my Desert Vista Dyeworks socks just in time! Seriously, I bound off the second sock at 10:30pm on the 31st! I had a lot going on, so I didn’t focus on this project very much. I did manage to get most of the gusset increases, heel turn and heel flap done during my hair appointment on Saturday. I got a perm, relatively soon after my last one. Apparently now that my hair is really growing now, I may need perms more frequently than I used to. C’est la vie!

The last project I worked on during the week was a hat pattern I had started as part of Laura Nelkin’s Q1 KAL challenge. I didn’t finish it by the deadline, so it may go into timeout for a bit.

A new week, a new month AND a new quarter starts today. Woot! I’ve selected my yarn for this month’s DVD socks, and now I can decide what projects I will take with me on my trip. It might be a mix of existing WIPs and new cast-ons. Stay tuned to find out!

I also want to take some time to reflect on what I’ve accomplished this past quarter. But that’s not happening today. I have too much to do and my evening is equally busy.

Knit on. 🧶
