Re-Engaging

Knitting, knitting. Didn’t I used to do that? Yes, that would explain the huge amounts of yarn… And needles. And books about yarn and needles.

Just kidding, sort of. What with all the wedding hoopla that went on here for while, my knitting got a little neglected. (We were only engaged for 5 months and our guest list never went above 60. I have no idea how folks manage more. Or why they would want to.)

Since the beginning of the year I have finished exactly 1 sock, but I am feeling my motivation (and time) return. Not entirely, because we are in the middle of another move and every evening is, at least partially, taken up with packing, loading and/or unloading. I have returned to my lunchtime knitting habit, though, and I’m thinking that soon, I’ll have a new pair of socks! Just in time for summer!

I’m using the Komet (ravelry link) pattern. The yarn is Malabrigo Sock and it is… well, it’s heavenly. The colors are wonderful. The fibers are soft, lofty and not splitty at all. Loverly.

Sorry about the blurry iPhone pic.

All this moving has shaken the dust off of all the WIPs, too. Evaluations are in order, because some of these things aren’t speaking to me anymore. This is the perfect time to do it, as moving boxes makes me ruthless.  Finish or frog, the time has come to decide.
