Yesterday I finished my Hermione socks. Happy as a clam I bound off and fastened the ends on both socks and held them up to admire them. Hang on, isn't the second one awfully short...? Yes... for some unfathomable reason I had started the ribbing on the second sock a full inch before I did on the first one. Ack! I know that I checked my notes to see how long I made the first one (6") but for some reason the number 5 got stuck in my head. So today I ripped out the BO and 2 inches of ribbing and began to lengthen the leg.
On a happier note I managed to block my Calais shawl today, so that's one WIP down.
I have 15 WIPs now, and 19 Hibernating (but I'm going to frog a couple of those for sure). I'm trying very hard to finish more projects than I start but somedays it is really hard.
I remembered to photograph the shawl and wristwarmers that I had forgotten. Here they are:

| Scrunched up entrelac shawl |

| Entrelac shawl nice and tidy |

| Neat upper edge |

| Twined wristwarmers |
Jag förstår att du vill ha båda sockarn lika långa, såå trist. När jag gör sånt skriver jag upp hur många varv jag stickat, så att socka nr 2 ska bli lika lång...men de gånger jag missar det så blir det att dra upp.
ReplyDeleteEntrelac-sjalen är så otrooligt vacker, den kommer du nog aldrig att tröttna på!!!
Muddarna är också mycket vackra och jag kan inte låta bli att längta till Dalarna (min mor var därifrån) när jag ser tvåändstickat, så det blev en oväntad nostalgitripp också!
Lovely shawls! The Calais looks great, and the colour in the entrelac is amazing!
