The only project I've been working on this week is the blanket. I've really felt like knitting something so simple and mindless lately, so I decided to just go with it ;) I've done 2 and a half more sections since last week, and I'm still loving it.
I have also been using it to practice knitting by feel alone, as it is just garter stitch, and I can now knit it without looking. I'm quite pleased with this
Head over to Tami's for more links, plus it's her 52nd WIP Wednesday so go say congrats ;)
I love that knitting has it's own language! Love the yarn you'r using for the socks.

ReplyDeleteI really love your blanket, it looks like it will be super warm! Well done for the knitting without looking, I'm not brave enough to try that yet!
ReplyDeleteThe sock is looking great, I love the colours!
ReplyDeleteGood work on modifying the sock. But what does it say about me if your "gibberish" makes perfect sense to me?
ReplyDeleteYAY on the heel - don't you just love socks?! The blanket is coming along great too! Now you can really watch TV while you knit - sometimes mindless knitting is the best thing in the world...
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you managed to find a way to work out saving your socks, congrats on learning a new technique with the heel and I like how the blanket is coming along.
ReplyDeleteI like the blanket, I should try a log cabin one, I have always liked the pattern.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first started knitting again, I made a log cabin blanket and my niece loved it so much. I gave it to her and at 7 she still snuggles under it.
ReplyDeleteI hope yours brings you as much joy.
The sock is looking good, keep it up!
Man, I love that blanket. It's delightfully bright. =D
ReplyDeleteYay! The heel has made it's appearance!
ReplyDeleteYour blanket looks great! I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteThe sock looks so nice. I'm sure your boyfriend will love them.
Your blanket is coming along very well! I love the surprise of the orange in it. Great skill to be able to knit without looking.
ReplyDeleteI love the blanket , looks to be very warm and the orange makes it just so cheery !
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your first short row heel ! I've yet to accomplish that ...
I'll always remember my first short row heel ... I was so shocked that it came out properly!
ReplyDeleteLove the blanket.
Getting a sock heel right the first time -- that's a major feeling of knitterly power, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThe socks look great and so does the blanket. Sometimes it's nice to have a mindless project that just keeps on going and going.
Hooray for accomplishing your first short row heel! Both projects are looking great. I love the mindless knitting that a garter stitch projects offers, although I have yet to learn how to knit without looking down at my knitting. Neat trick!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the blanket.
ReplyDeleteYAY for boy socks! I just started my husband's socks and it's amazing how much bigger I have to make them. LOL
ReplyDeleteCant knit socks!!Yours look cool!!The blanket looks beautiful. How big will it be?
ReplyDeleteYour WIPs are looking fab - I'm really enjoying the blanket each week - it's looking great.
ReplyDeleteI can knit simple stitches without looking - but that's where my Noro scarf keeps getting me into trouble - the yarn is so inconsistent that I get to a skinny but and knit stitches together :)
And you are all making me feel I should learn to make some socks for MY husband - you're putting me to shame!
The blanket is looking good, knitting without looking is a great skill to have :)
