itchy fingers

Filed under: Knits — mknit @ 10:26 am

I have itchy fingers to cast on for things. in the last couple of days, i’ve cast-on for a February-lady sweater, a sock, a scarf, a bag, and a dishcloth.  Most of the projects are not really getting finished, and I am just itching to cast on for more projects.

I have been mostly concentrating on working on the socks, although i should be concentrating on the bag.  I’ve made a decision on the bag for clara, i’ve decided to just buy her a bag.  I know it’s against the rules, but i just don’t want to sweat over the bag anymore.  with that out of the way, I can just move on.

The socks are a wee bit tight for me… I am using the needles that Emma gave me for the Hsks7 swap, i thought i’d try the magic loop method and also at the same time try out the harmony needles.  The magic loop method is very similar to 2 circs for me, I don’t know why when I tried magic loop, I thought I had to do it in sections of 3.  I think that’s the main reason I dislike knitting on dpns, too many sections to keep track, but on 2 circs, it’s just 2 sides… less confusion on my part I guess.

that my friend is my sock secret.
