Guess who fails at knit blogging? That’s right – me! So I have no proof of any of May’s completed goals. You’ll just have to take my word on these:
- Finish Rudyard – Not done
- Finish Shetland Shorty – Not done
- Finish Eleanora Socks – Done! (Pictures to come!)
- Start a new pair of socks – Done!
- Swatch for a sweater – Not done
- Do something with Mountain Peaks. Anything. – Not done
I’m giving up on Rudyard because my niece grows way faster than I can knit. At this rate, I’m just going knit something sized for a two-year-old, and hope she can still wear it by this Christmas. (No, I am not exaggerating. She’s only 3 months old, but she was wearing 9-mo old clothing as of two weeks ago!)
Or maybe I’ll just knit her toys…
Any recommendations for toddler knits?
While you’re thinking of those, let’s move on to this month’s goals:
- Finish Shetland Shorty
- Finish Baudelaire
- Swatch for a sweater
- Do something with Mountain Peaks!
I only have the armhole edging for Shetland Shorty left, so this is totally doable as long as I bring it to knit night sometime this month.
And as for Mountain Peaks? It’s gone on long enough. Granted, part of the problem is that it’s my “home” project, and I haven’t been knitting much at home because it’s Stanley Cup playoff season. And lace doesn’t make for good hockey knitting.
But even so, it’s still ridiculous. So if I don’t work on Mountain Peaks at all by the end of the month, I’m frogging that sucker.
Wish me luck!
