A very knitting weekend!

Friday was mandatory training day at work. So all morning I sat in a very warm, old army theater and listened to all the speakers, all the while keeping a secret....

I knit all of the cuff of Sock 2 of my Jingle Bell Rock Thuja's. Sock 1 has been done since December, so I thought it was high time it got it's mate. This was a perfect easy pattern to knit with in the semi-darkness. Hoping to finish this during lunchtimes this week at work!

Due to a 3 day holiday, I stayed home and knit as much as possible. Yeah, still had the household stuff to do, but I didn't venture out at all!

More progress on my Karen's Sugar-Free Socks. They do go a bit slower knitting both at once, but I am getting there! Only 1 and 1/2 more repeats for the leg then on to the rest. Using Cascade 220 superwash. I learned an important lesson....wind your yarn buns (yes, that's what I call those rounded puffy skeins of yarn!) When knitting with 2 skeins, it is a bit easier to keep untangled if the working yarn isn't a huge bun! I was hoping to get these done for February, but seriously, I need a warm vest, hat, and scarf/neckwarmer! So we shall see!

Onto my Boogie Vest Front. I am at the neckline separation! Finally, A light at the end of a tunnel! So far plenty of yarn! I haven't been able to cable without a needle due to the bulkiness of the LP, yes folks LP Bulky in Deep Charcoal. There is no way to not use one on this knit. But that's ok! So hopefully by Wed. the front/back will be blocking and ready for seaming just in time! Hehe, Sapphire was my friend most of this weekend while I was knitting. She's catching up some winks now!


So goals for this week: Finish Boogie Vest
Finish a pair of socks ?? which ones
Hat
Scarf
Secret Knitting...

Stay tuned and see what I do get done! ;)
