I am now into the yoke of the Spiral Yoke Sweater.


I could be done (this is a theme, no?) if I weren’t distracted with some quickie knits here and there.
For example, I made warmish socks for my skinny boy:

These are knit in leftover bits of Lion Brand Wool-Ease for washability and warmth. They may be only 20% wool but that’s 20% more than all of his other socks. The couple of handknit pair he has are in intense rotation so I decided to help a boy out. These made a good traveling project for the month of December now that I am done knitting sleeves (ahem) for my sweater. I think I could make a pair in 2-3 evenings of knitting if I weren’t busy with a sweater. And I don’t sit still much while I knit.
I have been abstaining from resolutions and major project declarations so far this new year. Not because I think it’s a useless exercise. I am seeking clarity. December was too busy for inward reflection. I am a gal who appreciates a little naval-gazing, so I am at least glad to have finished December and begun January.
Now, back to my sweater and my Harry Potter movie marathon. (I’m halfway through. The movies, that is.)
