A couple things I’m currently working on:

IMG_0964.jpg Pattern: Sunanami pullover Finished the collar, now working on the sleeves. The bottom ribbing still needs to be done too, but I want the sleeves done first so I can see if I need to do any short rows in the bottom hem.

A8D44D28_0AB6_46A2_BF9E_39FBB65AC449.jpg Pattern: Hermoine’s everyday socks My first time purling across the bottom of the sock to see if I like that texture better when wearing them

07B437D9_0D9B_45E2_A0C5_C4AA74C1DB6C.jpg Pattern: Delectable collectible socks My first surprise sock along. It’s been put aside as I try to finish my sweater, as I only have the brain power for one challenging project at a time.

2 of these have been on the needles for 6+ months, so I’m hoping posting my in-progress projects more often will help me stay on track and get these finished.

    Nice! I love the idea of two at once socks, but have always found it fiddly. Most impressive! And your sweater is coming along beautifully! I have two small projects going, a hat along the lines of this project (https://www.ravelry.com/projects/chrisoknits/melt-the-ice-toque) and a mistake rib scarf using up sock yarn. Which will become a short scarf with a button since it takes forever to make a scarf with sock yarn! 😂

      I love the marled color combination on your hat! I’ve made 2 Melt the ICE hats so far. And I love how the color is pooling on your scarf. I’m impressed you’re making it with fingering weight yarn! That definitely takes patience, no matter how big it ends up.

      I have to do socks and sleeves two at a time, otherwise I really struggle to make the 2nd one. It’s so much easier to tell myself I’ll finish it later, cast on a new project, and 2 years later I still haven’t finished it. But it definitely gets complicated with colorwork, juggling all the strands and keeping them untangled. I used to keep each ball in a plastic bag, but I just discovered yarn cozies and they work so much better for keeping the yarn tidy.
