I haven’t written about anything I’ve knitted for several months but I’ve still been working on various things in the background. The main problem is that I haven’t managed to actually finish a project in ages. Step forward the Mastadon hashtag #finishorfrogalong in which people own up to their own stash of unfinished projects and encourage each other to do the same. The idea being that you either finish it or you ditch it because that’s the only way to move forward!

With that in mind, I took a long hard look at what I’m calling the Knitting Basket of Procrastination, and got stuck in.

My previous and first pair of socks went really well but I wasn’t convinced the choice of yarn was right and wanted to try again. Along the way, I gathered some lower weight yarn and as most sock patterns favour that, I figured it couldn’t hurt to have a go at a smaller, more detailed sock.

It’s… not great. I do like the actual knitting of it, and it’s one of those multi-coloured yarns that creates patterns seemingly out of nowhere. But the shape is bizarre, either I read the instructions wrong or it’s just not for my shape of foot. The toe section is really uncomfortable.

Therefore, whilst I had intended to make a pair, I am now not going to bother making the second one. To be fair, I’m not sure I had enough of the yarn left anyway, so it’s not the end of the world. It was all good practice using the double ended needles anyway… and one project down in the #finishorfrogalong adventure. What’s next?
