I've been continuing to work on my mistake rib scarf. I think I forgot to even post about that here. I started it in May and have added it to my Ravelry projects list. I'm about 80% done which is nice. It has been good to have a fairly brainless project to work on -- no increases/decreases/sleeves/shoulders/neck and only a little bit of counting.
I did put some effort into the Christmas stocking for Jonah last month (June) and turned the heel and everything. It doesn't look right at all though, too much fabric in the ankle. I found the sock pattern that I leveraged when I made the other two stockings but my notes in the margins didn't really help. I think I will have to rip it back and try again so it doesn't look dorky. Or maybe dorky is part of the charm of a handknit stocking. Oh, I don't think I could bear to leave it the way it is.
Jonah's sweaters are languishing at the moment as well. Once needs a final shoulder completed and two sleeves. The other, following the octopus sweater design, I'm not sure I've got my gauge right. That's disconcerting and confusing at the same time -- why does it seem off to me this time? Did I change the needle size without knowing it? Can I really not remember things like that anymore now that I've got a little one? (Seems so....sigh)
