20+ hours a week of training --> 20+ hours of knitting

Now that I'm done spending about 2 hours a day training, and I can't resume training for anything new  because my leg still hurts, and I've been unemployed the last 3 months...I've had a lot of spare time.  I finally finished this afghan I started 3 years ago and which has sat for almost 2 in a laundry basket waiting for the last 8 inches to be knitted.  It really needed one more row of the dark purple at the end to finish it off but I didn't have the yarn and I just wanted to complete the project.  It has so many mistakes in it but it appears as though the Feathers and Fan pattern with big needles is rather forgiving.  Too many yarn overs  at some points which means having to reduce stitches with too many K2tog but....it's done and I'm actually rather pleased with it.

But I believe I start working tomorrow, so my knitting projects might slow up a bit.  I'm almost to the heel of my second sock that I'm making for Scott.  And after those socks, I have a pair to make for Hilary.  I might branch out and do a new pattern!  I feel like I have a good understanding of the basic sock pattern now.  I should.  I have now made 6 pairs.  If I keep it up to the finish, this pair for Scott will be the first without mistakes.  That makes me very happy.

And then after Hilary's socks....I want to make a sweater.  I've been browsing patterns on Ravelry and I now have about 10 different patterns of sweaters or dresses or cardigans or tunics that I'm in love with.

So I think I'll be busy knit wise.

Hoping to transition this blog into more of a journal.  I've forgotten the joy I get from putting things down in words.
