It's the first day of autumn . . .
a beautiful day! Last week I made progress on my Simply Splendid Sock #1 (k2, p2 ribbing) - worked the heel flap three times before I was satisfied with it. Have also worked SSS #2 (stockinette) to the heel flap. This week I'm going to have to really focus to meet the September 30 deadline for the 4Socks-a-Season KAL. The first Maizy sock will have to get my attention too! Since SSS#1 needs to be at the toe decrease by Tuesday's class (and I'm trying to keep SSS #2 on track with the first) I might actually have four completed socks by next Sunday.

My New Blog
This blog has been a work in process. The blog has been updated a little at a time as I learn how to customize it.
As I checked out blogs, it has been fun to see what others are creating on their needles. I've gotten a good kick in the pants to complete projects and take on new challenges . . . just by checking in on the KAL's I've joined.
The WhoDuKnit has been fun this past month. I am leisurely reading a previous month's selection, Maisie Dobbs, while knitting a pair of "Maizy Ruffled Socks" for my niece.
In August I completed my first sock. That month I joined the 4 Socks a Season KAL to keep me on track for my Christmas knitting. I am taking a sock class at my LYS this month. The buddy to my first sock looks better than the initial sock. Hopefully they will look similar after blocking. Then there is the Maizy Ruffled Sock which has been fun. September Goal: to complete four socks for the summer sock knitting with 4 Socks.
Obsessive person that I am, I also signed up for the Minimalist Cardigan KAL. I've swatched for gauge and started it. Progress is slow since the sock class has been my focus.
After I finish the class socks I need to get started on the Jigsaw sock . . . yes, I joined that KAL too! (But these FO will be a twofer - Jigsaw Socks & 4 Socks A Season)
