We're supposed to set some goals for this KAL and these are mine:
1. Knit a pair of socks from every type of yarn I have.
2. Practise toe up socks at least twice.
3.Knit a pair of socks for every member of my family and some of my friends.
4. Try a new technique - maybe fair isle socks.
Here's my first pair which I cast on on Monday. I'm just decreasing the gusset after turning the heel and I think I am going to run out of wool because they are for DH who has very large feet. Here's where I am now. The wool is Sheldridge Farm Soft Touch Sock from the Simply Socks Yarn Company
I'm hoping to make a pair of baby socks next. There's an imminent arrival for one of my workmates!I'm making progress with my cozy v-necked pullover from Fitted Knits. Have finished the body and started on a sleeve. Will have to rip it a bit as I don't like the ribbing starting so soon. I think it would be better below my elbow.
Cheers

Oh, I've just started the V-Neck Pullover from Fitted Knits for my Mum. I'll have to keep in mind where to start the ribbing on the sleeves (shame I don't have here her to try it on as I go). I'm working with 4 and 3.25 mm needles (using 8 ply and adjuting the pattern), so quite frankly, the less ribbing with the extra stitches and rows I have the better!
And, looking at the project I favourited in Ravelry (and showed Mum) actually started the ribbing at the elbow too - I hadn't noticed before...
At the moment just finishing a pair of socks is a challenge for me; my obsession is waning! :-o No, just on hold! Good luck with your challenges. :-)
