For some reason, summer always stunts my knitting mojo. I stop knitting for months, and then, like clockwork, right as it gets cold, right before Christmas or so, something in me snaps and I suddenly am on the bring of frothing at the mouth over beautiful yarns, clicking needles, ambitious projects. I do my best knitting in winter, right before the Christmas deadline (kind of like in high school where I wrote my best papers five hours before they were due).
Anyway. I'm rambling. Check this out:
Well, yay. It's a square.
To be more precise, it's a mitered square (my first one, btw, which is why it looks a little lopsided and funky...though that may be because it has yet to be blocked), made from Noro Silk Garden Sock (color #252? I think? It's been awhile and I lost the tag), knit on US 3 dpn's.
What is it going to be? Can you guess?
Hopefully, one day, that little square will be part of this: The Giant Sock Yarn Blankie.
Because I knit a lot of socks, I have a lot of sock yarn scraps. I'm excited to make them all into the little mitered squares that make up this blanket. It is going to take YEARS, I know. That little square up there? Is about 2 inches by 2 inches. TINY. But quick! I made it in about an hour.
So this isn't a project I can be monogamous with (sorry, Blankie). It'll be something that I work on here and there, and hopefully (with any luck) complete one day.
On to square #2...
