I actually did pretty well with last month’s goals. Didn’t complete all of them, but hey, what else is new?
- Finish Tina – Done!
- Finish Tubey – Done! (It’s not quite dry yet, though; pictures to come!)
- Finish at least one toe sock – Not done.
- Work on Eris – Done. Just barely.
- Hold off on pipeline projects until completing at least one of the above goals. – Done!
- Start Peacock Feathers – Done!
And for this month’s goals:
- Finish chart 3 and at least part of chart 4 for Peacock Feathers
- Finish at least one toe sock
- Finish Eris again. (Hopefully it’ll be more wearable than the last time I’d “completed” it.)
- Finish at least one new WIP
Not quite as ambitious this time around, as I’ll be out of town for nearly a week, and I won’t be making progress on my older WIPs because they’re not great for travel knitting. I’m not even going to try taking Peacock Feathers onto the plane – the US0 Inox Express needles can cause injury, as I found out the hard way, so any screener with half a brain wouldn’t let them through. The toe socks involve three balls of yarn dangling from the needles, since I’m just carrying the yarn along the side of the foot. And Eris, being nearly a complete sweater, would take up more room than I’d like in my carry-on and I’m (admittedly very stubbornly) refusing to check in any baggage.
So, smaller projects are good; I’m swatching for a new pair of socks and I’ve started a scarf out of the Louisa Harding Grace I picked up when we did our mini yarn crawl a few weeks ago, though I may actually frog the scarf and start over with a new stitch pattern. Haven’t decided yet. But both projects will be coming to Rhode Island with me.
I’m really going to be focusing more on my family (the entire reason for my trip) and on seeing the sights, but of course, I’m not opposed to stopping by a good yarn shop if one is in the area. Any recommendations? I’ll be staying in Newport and will not have a car, so any shops I visit would have to be fairly accessible by public transportation.
