AYOP Update Week 3

Although I marked everything off my to-do list this week, I feel like my first sock is an epic fail. The yarn I’m using is an Independence Day set, so it’s red, white, and blue. I didn’t want any white on the foot. And I always knit socks for DH toe up. So I just thought of block socks. I would knit red for the foot and then change to white and then blue.

As you can see. They look like the French flag. I have no issues with the French or their flag. It just wasn’t the look I was going for. Also, I do not like how I cut the red off halfway through the heel. For the second sock, I am thinking of a blue foot and the red & white stripes for the leg. Thank goodness, DH doesn’t care what his socks look like. I also completed my three granny squares for my blanket.

The third project I had on my list was my Poncho. I managed just under 15cm. Unfortunately, I did not finish the first ball. At the rate I’m knitting this there is no way I will have it finished this month.

Work has been quite busy, so I haven’t had much free time to do much else. The weather has also been unseasonably warm, so little time has been spent in the garden. I’m looking forward to a few cool days this week.

My list for this week is much the same. I would like to start the second sock for DH, crochet another three squares, finish the first ball and knit at least half of the second ball on my poncho. I would also like to get a little stitching done on the weekend.
