I picked up my needles again after finishing a scarf. It is a lacy scarf and I used sock yarn that I had hand painted many moons ago. The scarf looks like a neon rattle snake skin. Pictures will follow once I can block it.
I knew what was happening, I was craving knitting socks. Yep, I am knitting a pair for my niece, Maribeth. I started the cuff last night. I have a lot of time on my hands right now since I pulled my back. Talk about misery...I had forgotten how miserable this injury can be. So, thinking that I was much better last night, I told the hubby to forget the pain patch and I would go to sleep without it. Big mistake! So, I am now sporting one of the stinky things and I am telling you, it feels much better with the stinky thing on.
I have been looking for a nice pattern for her socks but, so far, nothing works. I might just knit plain old socks, no pattern. I don't think the yarn will let me do a lace pattern, it is bold and bright. So, a plain old pair of stockinette socks might just fit the bill. They will be a mindless knit, which I need so much right now.
Just a knit that will keep my hands occupied and my brain on cruising mode. Nothing too serious. I have plans to knit a stole when I finish the socks. I will need something more challenging when I finish the socks. It is always fun to interchange between a seriously skilled knitting project versus a mindless easy one.
It should be fun.
