February Roundup
February was a relatively unsurprising month, and went so much faster than January. I made great progress on my Brontë Sister Shawl, I almost finished knitting that bulky weight scarf for my coworker, and I knit my February Sock Squad socks. I also sewed most of my black wool Estuary Skirt (!) and just have the buttons and the bottom hem left.
February Socks: Winter Rose Socks by Helen Stewart. This month’s yarn was a merino/cashmere mix, and I wanted something delicate but cozy to go along with it. My new bar for sock knitting patterns is “can I memorize it fast enough to knit on the bus?” and the answer to this one was absolutely yes, I can.
Outfits, there were 14 days where I wore at least one thing I made. Most popular: my Dusk Light Shawl, my Trelawney Scarf, my Rose Cardigan, and my clay Estuary Skirt. I’ve also been wearing my knitted socks more, but I don’t keep track of those in the same way.
Up next: This morning I started on my March Sock Squad Socks — I’m making a three-color Brioche Toe-Up Socks by Lavanya Patricella. It’s possible that I’ll finish my Bronte Sisters Shawl this month, or I may start on something else on my list. It’s interesting how I used to be such a project monogamist but am really leaning in to having several projects on my needles to switch things up.
