Ready for the turn...


OK, I'm ready to turn the heel on my 2nd Dragonfly Sock.  

When I finished the first sock... I went into that "second sock funk"...like...do I really have to spend a couple more weeks until this project is finished???  No wonder some gals knit both socks at the same time!  But now that I'm down to the heel turn, I feel better...I feel energized to get to the toe.  


I'm ready for the turn...the turn of the seasons...and it's a slow go.  But I saw more evidence of the turn today with the growing catkins on the Aspen tree.  We're supposed to get snow or rain sometime today, and I think the catkins would love that.

  1. Ok, you have inspired me to carry on. I haven't done a pair of socks but I did do felted slippers recently and, as you know, I'm making a doll right now. I appreciated your kind comment. This is what stretches us and broadens our creativity. The Dragonfly socks will be beautiful and you will wear them proudly but... I still don't know why socks and slippers have to come in pairs. LOL!
    What are "catkins" on the Aspen tree?

  3. I often knit on two separate sets of needles, so when they are done, I'm done!

  4. Wow, you did these really quickly! I get SSS also sometimes a really bad case that lingers and lingers. Side by side is the way to go. I get mixed up with two on one needle for some reason.

  6. I can completely understand that feeling, so if I was a knitter, I would have to knit two at a time..could you imagine me doing that, lol. Toe? heel...leg? Now where was I?
