Today ends my Summer Knit-Along. As you can see, while I made some excellent progress on completions this summer, I did not get everything done.
Truly, I am okay with that.
I am still working on Triticum and I am farther than I was before the summer began. Plus, over the summer – I have shown myself that I can indeed knit socks that fit! So, I will forge ahead with those Pushkinia socks and have a nice new collection of socks for my feet for when the weather requires socks (which hopefully won’t be too soon!)
There was also some ripping out – yes Jen Lucas MKAL Shawl #2 was sent to the frog pond. It was a Knit Kon-mari casualty.
I am even more okay with that! Knitting that does not spark joy should not be knit. Really.
Done (in order of completion):
- Indigo Cones
- Aestlight Shawl
- Picot Socks
- Thistle Rambles
- Tales from the Isle of Purbeck
- Handspun Nahant
- Pincha
- Jen Lucas MKAL Shawl #1
Undone:
- Triticum
- Pushinia Socks x 2
Totally Undone:
- Jen Lucas MKAL Shawl #2
Beyond all this knitting, it was a very good summer – and I especially enjoyed the participation of each of you! I loved seeing finished items pop up on Ravelry and I REALLY enjoyed the cocktails that were shared over the summer.
However, now I am strangely filled with a crazy urge to cast on all the things. Or, at least one or two new projects! And, despite all attempts to put summer into a permanent holding pattern, Christmas will be here all too quickly. I have to figure out who will be getting any Christmas knitting this year – ASAP!!
I hope your summer was everything you wanted it to be – and more!
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! Although I only completed one project, it was the most important one. Miss Audrey’s baby blanket, Girasole. ????
I will not use the past tense for summer just yet. I must hold on even when autumn is hitting me in the face. You were very prolific and met many of your goals. Beautiful work on all fronts. I was not much of a knit alonger, but I kept on with my one shawl and just might finish it (by months end–shhhh, don’t tell). I did finish a pair of socks! Thank you!
I am mightily impressed with eight beautiful FOs and Kon-Mariing! I only managed one, but that’s better than none, which is what might have happened without your Summer Knit-Along. Thank you, and enjoy casting on all the things!
You know it’s still summer until 9/22, right? Just sayin. I’m impressed with ALL of your projects!
What a lovely collage of finishes!! 😉
beautiful array of shawls and I say you were quite successful over all with your summer of shawl knitting. Beautiful!
