I've been struggling a little with the motivation to actually finish anything. Although I have managed to finish the mittens for my mom. I really love how these turned out. The yarn itself is so pretty!
I'm really glad I decided to just go for it and knit nice, plain mittens.
Of course the motivation to finish things is gone but the motivation to start them isn't!
I started another pair of socks, my Bride of Socktober Spooktacular socks.
I'm knitting the Skew pattern again because I just adore how it fits my feet. They're kind of a wiggle to get your foot in them but once you do, they fit so incredibly well. They don't twist or slide around at all and they definitely don't slip down like some of my other hand knit socks do.
It hasn't slowed down my yarn purchasing either. I bought two skeins of Copper Canyon from Yarn Love when it was her featured color and they came in last week.
I absolutely love the color but it does remind me a bit of some other yarn I already have now that I have it in hand. Oh well, apparently I love the blue and brown combo. Although on this yarn (her Juliet base) it definitely looks more coppery. So gorgeous! I even picked up 2 skeins so I can do some big, epic project with it. Maybe after Christmas.
I'm holding off since this just came in today!
It's so Christmassy I can't stand it! I realized recently that I don't have any Christmas socks so I had to pick some up when Vesper had a sale. I got this one and 2 others. Which means I also got the cutest tote bag!
I'm not really sure what I will use it for, maybe trucking back and forth to knit nights. I sure hope I can get to one again soon! I miss my Knitters!!!
Meanwhile this happened.
Now I just need to decide if it should be plain socks or Skew again. Plain requires less attention but come on, this would look amazing as Skew socks too!
