Fingers Gotta Knit

I wanted to post on the anniversary of my ankle break, but sometimes it is best to leave sleeping cats lie. I will say I've been healing for a year now and am happy with my progress.

Now back to the knitting, shall we? I finally decided I have the brain power to learn something new. I'm knitting my first cardigan. I picked Mr Greenjeans since I admired it then and I have not used a Knitty pattern in a while. i have dubbed my ferion Teatime Cardigan, because it is a lovely dark brown and I will feel fancy wearing it.

I'm diving a wee bit back into the stash for some Valley Yarns Northampton yarn. Although my car is older than the yarn so it was not too deep stash, only from 2017. Hmm now I wonder how much of my stash is older than my car...

I just love the look of cables but I don't really love knitting them. I don't hate it but I guess I'm a stockinette girl at heart. This will be my first time knitting a button band and I will admit being a bit intimidated. The fear of incorrectly picking up stitches is strong in this one. I know it is fine I can always rip back but I can see the shark fin of fear circling me. Naa Na Naa Na.

Have no fear Momma I will protect you from, uhm... getting cold or getting up for a toilet break? I don't really have a job here and that's OK.

I did manage to finish a pair of socks for Hubby. I really liked the subtle coloring of these Hula Hut socks. Hey this yarn is the same vintage as the sweater yarn. How did I manage that?

For my own project management. Hula Hut Yarns Sock in Winkle. Bought at Oregon Flock and Fiber 2017. Cast on Dec. 11 2020 and Bound off Jan. 24 2021. My standard 80 stitch sock pattern. The first pair of the year.

I've been knitting on the next pair for quite a while. they are finally finished but alas without photos to show them off. Heck Hubby has not even tried them on yet. Maybe the next post. 

I of course cast on more socks because I am me and I still have a goal of knitting 12 pairs a year. So far I've got January and February pairs done but my fingers gotta knit!! 

 Happy knitting Y'all!
