SuperSock World Championship is in the Finale Lap, and will be wrapping up later this month. I looked at all the socks I knit since it started May 1st.
That is fifteen socks total. Don't worry the lonely pink sock at the bottom has a mate, but I knit it before SWC started. And yes, my sock drawer is stuffed to the gills, and I really have to do something about that....not.
In other news I finished the second repeat on my Wildernesse shawl. I decided to have purple trees against a snowy sky as the first repeat was snowy trees against a purple sky....not sure what the third repeat will be....stay tuned.
I added a few more rows to my 54 pickup. Slow going what with six charts, three colours and doubleknitting which means k1, p1 all the way across. Then I double check the pattern and go back to fix any errors as they arise....and they do arise.
It was our anniversary last Wednesday, and we both were able to stop coughing long enough to enjoy a movie - Formula 1. Loved it. Surprising to both of us how much we enjoy following the Formula 1 races ever since we watched the Netflix series: Drive to Survive. In fact this morning while having our coffee we watched the highlights of the Hungarian race.
So there is my week. Knitting, Coughing, Knitting, Reading, Knitting, Studying, Knitting, Binge watching two seasons of Nurses, and, of course Knitting. And more Coughing.
Oh, and here is a picture of my sock drawer:
And here is the just married, and then forty eight years later photos:
Until next week dear readers. I think I might cast on a sock for my hubby. He is so appreciative, and knitting socks for his large hobbit feet is easy TV knitting, and I still have four episodes to go on season 5 - 24. How will Jack Bauer save the day this time?
Big congratulations on your 48th!!! Ours will be 40 in Feb. Loved your wedding photo. Yours socks are wonderful. I really need folks to gift socks to as I don't wear all the ones I already have! But I love knitting them.
ReplyDeleteWhoa. That's a lot of socks. Happy belated anniversary. Your wilderness shawl is gorgeous. Love the way you have alternated colors on it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of socks you've knit since the beginning of May! And what a beautiful sock drawer you have. It must be very satisfying to reach in and pull out your own hand-knit ones. Congrats on 48 years of marriage! You two were so cute - and still are! Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sock story Mary-Anne and congratulations to 48 years of marriage. You both are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary! Hope you're feeling better now.
ReplyDeleteWhat a colourful collection of socks. We watch the Grand Prix quali and races, and enjoyed the movie too. Lovely seeing your wedding photo and recent one together like that ❤️. Liz (Highlandheffalump)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your anniversay, wishing you both many more happy years. Well done on all the socks and that sock drawer looks just perfect! There is even more room in it Mary-Ann lol. Pickup 54 may be slow going and a labour of love but I think it will turn out to be a stunning well worth it project
ReplyDeleteHappy very belated anniversary! I don't think you can own too many hand knit socks! And you shawl and blanket look great 😊
