Another busy week, but not without the chance to catch up on some blogs and get inspired by pretty projects from Yarnjeannie, Leah and Amy, just to name a few.Thankfully, though, that inspiration is taking the form of motivating me to finish what's already started, instead of diving into something new.
I got to finish one of three lingering second socks this week. My daughter has become a knitted-sock convert, amazed at how soft and comfortable these are.
I cropped off the very tops in this (rushed and poorly lit) picture because my binding off needs some work. All in all, though, they're completely functional and I learned a lot in the process.
(For example: Size 1 DPNs are just a little too small for me to work with, and there's no reason to make sock toes so pointy!)
I'm pretty proud of my restraint in not even having touched the Madelinetosh yet. Yes, I wavered briefly and considered crocheting socks with it, but now I think I'll be able to stay strong. Wishing everyone a happy weekend!

Hi Mrs D. Thanks so much for commenting on my blogging post. First off, love the socks. I have given up sock knitting as it takes way too long for my short attention span. There is nothing wrong with a slow blog, I'd much rather have several great blogging friends than a ton of people I never connect with.
Hope you are having a fantastic day,
Meredith
I was reading all the comments on your post, Meredith, and seeing that comment etiquette seems to be confusing to a lot of people! But you are 100% right about how rewarding it is to have sincere blogging friends.
