This week I cast on one last knitting project for my friend's impending baby. My friend Annika's Pip Socks (Ravelry Link) had been at the top of my list since I started planning baby knits for this kiddo, and they're the last project I need to make before I can package up this bundle of baby knits and send them to my friend. I'm using leftovers from my mum's Christmas socks, and they're knitting up so quickly. I love the drawstring around the ankle on these, so they're a little tougher for baby feet to yank off than regular socks.
I also finished the top garland on the baby quilt! The pattern has one of these three-flower garlands across the top and the bottom, and then the center is a three-by-three grid, so this is excellent progress. I've also been making some good headway on the first row in the grid—the flower on the right-hand side of the image above has been almost completely filled in since I took this picture! I haven't knit much during the week, but I'm hoping to dive in this weekend and make some decent progress (without overdoing it).
I'm also hoping to clean my apartment this weekend—I did a deep clean the week before my first hand surgery, but I haven't done a real cleaning since then, but my hands are finally up to the task. My kitchen counter has gotten especially cluttered, and I'm really looking forward to actually managing that instead of just pushing piles aside to deal with later.
This is probably the only time in your life that you're excited to be able to clean! Those socks should be off the needles in no time. That's the great thing about baby socks!
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right! The amount of dog hair that piled up in some corners was astounding, and so satisfying to vacuum up!
