knitting again: some socks
It seems to me like I've completely become absorbed by knitting and wool and spinning and stuff. I would love to make more Midget Blocks, but I always end up knitting more socks. Some time ago, I have counted my sockyarn skeins and estimated that I've got yarn to knit at least 24 pairs of socks. Which means I will have to knit 20 pairs of socks until I may buy more sock yarn.
I have been tempted several times, seen really beautiful yarn, or yarn sold cheaply, and I stayed strong and didn't buy anything. Which means I can really be proud of myself. At the moment, I'm trying to knit up my stash, and here's what I'm doing:
September 2009 Mystery Sock designed by Nancy Bush "Fox Faces".

And here are "Hat heel socks" from the new issue of Knitty:
I'm knitting 2 more pairs at the moment, but haven't photographed them yet, and I finished these "Spring Forward Socks", also from Knitty:
I've knit 14 pairs of socks so far. That means, I started knitting in November 2008, and that's what I did since then. Now I can wear my handknit socks every day. I'm a selfish knitter, I knit mostly for myself. I gave one pair of socks to my mum, who really loved receiving socks from me. She really appreciated them. And I, in turn, liked that very much, of course.
Now, summer is definitely gone. I've seen the wild geese leave for the south two weeks ago:
It really makes me sad each time, the end of summer. But then again, I like fall. If we only could skip winter.
