Knitting.

Just to show that some knitting has been done...





This is Branching Out, knitted in Artesano Alpaca Inca Cloud and it looks rubbish at the moment because it's not been blocked. Lovely yarn, very soft, easy pattern and I'm half way through. I'm bored with it though. My brain has never been very good at remembering lace motif repeats and though this one is simple enough it's just not automatic for me, and I do make the odd error which is tedious when I have to pick it back. I'm using it as car knitting as well, which is not ideal when you have to stop at once when the child comes out of school or whatever. I'll be glad when it's finished. It's for my sister at Christmas.

What I really want to be knitting is this....



Noro sock yarn. I bought it for myself as a birthday present last month and I think I've been very good because I've not cast it on yet. I am knitting two sweaters and a scarf at the moment though (we won't discuss the UFOs) so I'd be daft to cast on something else, especially something that I'd want to knit to the exclusion of other projects. Since I finished the Kaffe Fassett socks though I've been missing having a sock on the needles. Wonder how long I can last out?

not knitting a sock at the moment? is that allowed?
