the elves are getting bored Sock knitting induced ennui has set in.
The elves finished gray sock #1 but got bored with the gray.
So they started a blue sock (Shepherd Sport in denim) with ribbing. Oh yeah. Can you feel the excitement? posted by alison at 10:57 am | in

Go go go elves! My elves are trying too, but in secret... that's tough when the recipiant is ALWAYS HOME! Posted by: Johanna at December 2, 2005 9:18 AMI hear ya. Same thing's going on with my elves! Posted by: Kate at December 2, 2005 9:24 AMI always like the look of a ribbed or patterned sock better than plain stockinette just cause the leg part looks so loose on stockinette. I always think it won't fit me or something. Silly, I know. I'm making some pretty blue socks for my daughter in the Cable Rib pattern from IK and I can't wait to make some for myself. Enough about my sock knitting? :) Posted by: Laura at December 2, 2005 9:24 AMMy elves keep getting distracted by other projects too. How to best keep them in line... More chocolate? Posted by: Jennifer at December 2, 2005 9:29 AMIt is a distracting season isn't it? The grey is beautiful. Posted by: kathy b at December 2, 2005 9:36 AMI love that ribbed sock ... it really looks beautiful. I've got the ennui too..I keep starting things, then ripping them out, then starting something else! Posted by: Carrie at December 2, 2005 9:42 AMI can't seem to keep with the Christmas knitting program at the moment. Did you get a package from me? Posted by: Bliss at December 2, 2005 11:19 AMyour speed amazes me! both socks are gorgeous - i can't wait to be knitting well enough for socks....i'm getting there :) Posted by: rebecca at December 2, 2005 11:32 AMLove the socks! I really need to retry the hourglass heel. Since i can't do it without reading your instructions or PG-R's instructions, I don't do it! I think I am going to make some of your anklets for my MiL though -- she requested house socks. I've got the ennui myself. I switched from a jaywalker sock for one of my sisters to a baby hat last night when it set in. I really need to focus! Posted by: jess at December 2, 2005 11:51 AMThe cure involves entertaining the elves. Choices are: - a good stitch and bitch I think I've listed those in my order of preference. :-) Posted by: LaurieM at December 2, 2005 12:00 PMRough, isn't it? I always have such grand aspirations and end up wanting to fizzle! Posted by: Julia at December 2, 2005 12:06 PMWe're nearing the end of Christmas knitting, but I keep finding my elves sitting down on the job. I tried taking them out for coffee, but lost them in the mall--haven't seen them since. It's going to be close this year! Posted by: Katherine at December 2, 2005 12:58 PMI understand completely! Not too many sock to go though :) (that's what I have to keep telling myself) Posted by: Vicki at December 2, 2005 4:32 PMI LOOVVVE how the ribbing turned out. My elves really want to knit socks but I force them to do more christmas presents. Posted by: Sarah at December 2, 2005 7:38 PM |
