Wednesday WIP's--why version

hrmpf....that's all I can say. One would think with an afternoon off one would have more progress on said items below. Well if one would keep her eyes open, one might have. ;) Oh and if tinking wasn't being done on a regular basis...they would progress more as well!

Thorpe hat...

I was down to the earflaps. It was snug and I wanted it looser, so frogged bag to the increase section and added another one. Plus I went up a needle size. Going better I think..

Socks shouldn't be soul sucking should they? They should be enjoyable shouldn't they?

Sometimes they are, sometimes not...US 1's why do I even try! This is the Leyburn pattern you've seen on other's blogs, yeah, my speedy friends :)

Well, it's a really easy pattern repeat, why do I end up tinking more? Could it be that I'm wishing the US 2's worked? Or is it that pesky extra K row that seems to get in there ;) Why is it my STR socks seem to just go on forever, I mean, I knit, it seems to go no where! I have 2 others in progress as well. Not looking forward to finishing them, that's why they sit there. Love the colorways, but the yarn to me seems to knit slow, I feel like I can't make progress. It's me, that I know, cause other's seem to fly off the needles. Don't mind me, I'll perservere, I'm not letting pesky socks get the better of me!

Could this be.....

Long resurrected Mr. Lipstickjeans! Finally out of the project bag. Thankfully, this project hasn't been getting tinked this week. I didn't think it would ever get long enough. Still a bit worried but I measured it with other sweaters and it seems about right, plus this yarn is known to block big. I still have at least a 2" button band to add as well. I like the idea of knitting 1 sleeve earlier, doesn't seem so daunting right now to finish the other one. I do want to finish this month, as I have another sweater OTN raring to go.

Off I go to brave the black ice! Yeah, back to work today :(
