I finished my shorties yesterday. They’re Kiera’s socks. Hope she likes them.
I sort of miscalculated my starting point for the second sock. I tried to make them the same but, when I started the second sock, I started from the outside of my ball – which meant that the colors were in reverse. They’re still cute right? They’re for a 12-year-old. I hope she still thinks they’re cool.
I also finished (mostly) my Drops 103 Jacket. The pieces are drying on the blocking mats as we speak.
I have to put the collar on and then sew all the pieces together. Its been about a year since I’ve made something (a big thing) that requires sewing. I’m actually nervous. It appears as though the back is a little shorter than the fronts. I had to stretch it out more . Maybe the fronts are longer because of the shoulders? Strange as I counted the rows and they should have been pretty much exactly the same… Maybe it’s just me.
I can’t wait to start my Minimalist!
The only other UFO (Un-Finished Object) I have is my January Socks that Rock. Because they’re socks, I tend to work on them on my breaks, in the car, etc… I work on the bigger stuff at home. BUT, it’s April and I expect that my next package for the Sock Club will arrive soon. I suppose it doesn’t really matter. It’s not a race; there are no deadlines.
Today’s a gloomy day. I don’t mind it though. It’s a good day for doing things inside.
