Knits

As in crazy, not angry.

I finished the memorial scarf, but don’t have a finished picture since 1. It’s a scarf so it’s rather boring to photograph again and 2. I just don’t, okay? It’s nice and thick. I haven’t actually washed it yet as there really is nowhere for me to lay it out to dry without it being totally in the way (my flat is that small).

I have started on some new socks - the Kansas harvest socks (Ravelry link) using the MadelineTosh sock yarn I got in a trade. As I’m knitting them toe up I hope the wheat sheaf bits don’t look too funky being upside down.

I want to start a larger project and I even swatched! I washed the swatch and then realised I don’t know where my pins and what not are to properly block it and measure. My guess is is that everything would be fine if I were to just get on and knit (based on how the yarn behaved post-bath and the difference in my gauge pre-wash), but I want to be sure before diving head first into this one because I really want to finish a larger project!

Other than that not a lot going on. I looked into moving out of my flat early and it really wouldn’t be financially feasible because of the rental market right now. I would be responsible for rent, bills, and marketing fees until the end of my tenancy agreement or until a new renter could be found. Considering half of this building is still empty it’s pretty clear I’d be obvious for all the above. Oh well. At least I tried, right? I am keeping my eye out for new places to live as things are starting to show up that are available in a couple months time. I have actually toyed with the idea of buying, but right now I’m mostly leaning towards “not a good idea”.

As always I am way behind with blog reading. I have been doing as my body says and getting lots of sleep including naps after work and lots of them at the weekend. I’ll go catch up a bit while my dinner is cooking…
