Originally, my ambition got the best of me and I thought I could make 16 pairs by Labor Day. Now that it's been two months and I've only made 4 pairs I don't know how doable that is. I'd have to make 12 pairs in the next six weeks.
Truth be told . . . I don't see that happening.
So, what happen? Well, aside from living life and doing other things aside from knitting I would say the other things that have influenced my lack of sock making is that I still have my blankie to work on. Additionally, I am not sitting in traffic as much as I use to anymore. Now, I have been using public transportation a bit more than I use to, but I find that I am using that time to sleep more than knit. Additionally, more of my lunch hours are spent meeting up with friends as well. (I told you I did more than just knit!)
Recently, I finished my Lovely Lace socks. Personally speaking, I believe them to be fabulously lovely . . .
However I recognize I may be a tad bias. I really enjoyed making these socks and just fell in love with making socks two-at-a-time.
No sooner did I take the Lovely Lace socks off the needles did I put on my next pair. The pattern is Drift by Melissa Goodale. It as part of a Hazel Knits sock club pattern. The Hazel Knits colorway we received is called Surf.
I'm excited about these as well. This is my first time working with Hazel Knits yarn and I have to say it is quite smooshy-soft. I can't wait to get these on my feet.
Well, that's all for now.
Until later . . .

Those are both lovely socks! And the benefits of cranking out socks so quickly is all those leftovers for the blankie.
