I can always control my knitting...mostly

You know how sometimes reaching a knitting goal becomes super important? I think part of it for me is that my life totally out of control right now—on both sides of the ocean, but my knitting is something that I can control. So, I had in my head that I wanted to get two projects to the half-way point over the weekend, and…I did!

First, I am now done with chart 5, and thus officially halfway on my Names of the Doctor scarf. A weeping angel is coming up on the next chart—I’ll try not to blink.

Here is a picture of the whole scarf—I’m loving it! I can’t wait to wear it!

The other thing I wanted to get to the half-way point, is the pair of socks that have been my river knitting. Since I had an unexpected supervision on Sunday morning, I zoomed through the toe, and then after fellowship last night I sat down and did the heel. I made a newb mistake that resulted in my kitchner not being exactly even, but I won’t do that on the second one. Overall, I’ quite happy! And I love how my little forethought gusset looks!

The other project that got a good bit of love over this last week was my Blink sock (very Whovian knitting at the moment, huh?). I’m working on my second heel turn; I love how the feathers chart can work into the flap so nicely! Once I get that all done I can start zooming down the foot as it is pretty much mindless knitting.

And that is pretty much it for now. As previously mentioned, life feels pretty out of control right now, so I am working on my trust muscles. And, keeping my eyes fixed on December! I can do this, I can do this. Just keep knitting, just keep knitting...
