Something to aspire to.
OK, I am fired – I missed yesterday…life happened. I figured my 6 year old needed me more than the 2 people who read this blog, so there you go!
There are several techniques that I would like to learn in the next year. I would like to learn entrelac, toe-up socks (which I am attempting right now!), and to make a lace shawlette. Shawlette because I know I don’t have the patience for a full shawl. I have been on a huge toe kick lately, and that makes me want to learn different heels, different toes, just different sock construction in general.
The last is that I finally want to finish losing the weight I want to, and get going on some sweaters! I have about 8 sweaters’ worth of yarn waiting to be knit up. I have a Hey Teach that has just sleeves that need to be knitted, then it needs to be pieced together. It doesn’t fit me now, so I haven’t had the motivation, but it is the biggest UFO that I have, and I want to get that completed so my UFO box nears empty.
I absolutely adore looking at ornate shawls, lace throws…they all seem so time consuming like I said, but blocked they are just truly works of art. And add beads to it? I am blown away! I will go on to Ravelry and just look at lace FO’s and drool. I have no desire to make most of them (the thought makes me quake in my bobby socks) but I really, truly appreciate the skill that goes into lace. So lace knitters out there? Love your work, you are amazing!
