Work-in-Progress Wednesday 79

Hi everyone! I'm back to being healthy, minus the cough and raspy voice! It's good to be myself again. I haven't been working on my sweater (I swear I will finish it very soon!), but I have been busy knitting.



As you may remember (if you've read the past month's WIPW posts), I didn't have much success with my knitting group's Harry Potter sock challenge for January. I did the leg of the first sock and stopped. I'm not sure why, but I just was not feeling it. While I will finish the set, I decided to move onto February's socks to not fall too far behind. Funny enough, for some reason February's pattern is flying off the needles. I've finished one sock and am at the heel flap of the 2nd. I should hopefully have a full pair of socks on Friday to share for FO Friday, or at least at some point this week. I'm not sure I'll be able to finish for the actual morning of FO Friday, but we'll see. This pattern is Petunia Dursley's Double Eyelet Socks by Erica Lueder and I'm using Knitter's Brewing Company Sock-aholic Sweet yarn in Sweet Lavender.


That's what I've worked on. I haven't been able to work much on my Time Traveler socks, so I'm sure that will be next week!

  11. I love the purple socks. Some projects are just like that. I tried about 4 different patterns and about 5 different stitches before I found the right one for my fingerless gloves. Sooo Glad that your cough has gone!

  12. Solid colour socks are a nice change! It really makes the eyelet pattern stand out.

    I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with half-finished project in the pipe. I think that often when I stop a project that I'm just not feeling, the next project goes so much faster! :)

    1. YES! Crazy, right? Last week on Wednesday, I had the ribbing of the first sock done (which is 10 rows of k1, p1) and that's it! I've done the rest in the past week. For some reason this pattern is just clicking in my head. LOL
