Knitting Green

Lately I've been knitting a lot of green. The color, that is, the title doesn't refer to any especially earth-friendly knitting.

See, I started these green socks with Zauberball when I needed some mindless knitting, and then I finished some secret socks that were green, and then on St. Patrick's Day I coincidentally started some other secret socks that are also green (and making quick progress).



So because of all of these things, it is likely that I will finish 3 projects in a row that are all green socks. Not really usual for me... although if they were blue it wouldn't be strange at all.

It does make me a bit sad when I knit things and can't share them with the world of Ravelry or the blog. I wouldn't want all you lovely folks on the internet thinking that I'm a knitting slacker! But sometimes that is just the way it is, so perhaps I shall have to put a bit more work into some of my half done WIPs so that I can show things off more frequently.

Oh, hello blog!

When I posted about Garnish I had also finished a pair of socks. But I wanted to tell you about the new pattern, and I was waiting for the socks to get to Canada in the mail - which always takes longer than you would think but especially during the Olympics!

But now they're there and you can see them:



Pattern: (Black)hearted
Yarn: Hazel Knits Artisan Sock in Jubilee
Started: 2/12/2010
Finished: 2/22/2010

I started these at Madrona to replace the Mochi socks as my easy knitting. Everything before and after the hearts is mindless, and I always need a mindless project to keep in my bag.

Although I cast on for them during Opening Ceremonies, they weren't really a Knitting Olympics project or anything like that. I just happened to have finished my other socks earlier that day and decided that it would be fun to cast on with everyone else. And I happened to finish them within the Olympics too. Total coincidence.

Well, this blog has been a bit quiet as I have been spreading my knitting over many projects (never good for finishing) and knitting some secret stuff (never good for blogging), but I'll try to keep it a bit more frequent in the near future.
