Today the weather is windy
not the gale force winds we have been having, thankfully , but enough to dry washing
I striped the bed, put the sheets in the washer and out on the line early
towels were hung under the veranda and everything has dried
ivd got the sheets on the bed ready for me to remake it
towels will shortly be brought in folded and put away
all living areas have been dusted and vacuumed.
it was also bathroom day I scrubbed it all down and then I had a shower
After all that
I’m working on the socks
I’ve run the life lines for the heel and will continue knitting the foot
I think I’ll add a lifeline before decreasing for the toes and start the second sock.
But
Ill start knitting the (cuff) of the second sock and end it with the toes.
casting on and knitting the first few rows is hard. My hands just won’t do what I want them too.
I’m hoping this will be much easier
Ill let you know how the experiment goes
I think its time I learned how to turn a heel on socks. Im seeing sock knitting on a couple of blogs and you guys all have more than one way of achieving heels and toes (and continuous sock knitting and all). I suspect I might feel like Im reinventing a wheel.
ReplyDeleteHope you didn't overdo it today. That's a mighty lot of housework achieved.
ReplyDeleteI'm envious of your sock knitting. I do not like those little dpns. I've thought of learning magic loop....but never got down to it. You're marvellous
That was a ton of work you got through, let's hope not too much.
ReplyDeleteYes, many different ways of creating socks.
I think anyone who can knit socks are very clever. I could never get the hang of it.
ReplyDeleteHonestly these are not your typical sock pattern.
DeleteI’m sure you would be able to make these.
