2015 Goals: Addendum
Forgot one thing I want to try this year: different heels for socks. I purchased the instructions for Sox Therapist's Fish Lips Kiss heel this past fall and have yet to put it into action. I'm about to knit myself some self-striping Ornaments socks from Gynx Yarns and think I might try it out on them. The instructions guide you through creating cardboard templates for feet, so I definitely want to make them for the people I knit socks for the most: my husband and mother-in-law.Also in my queue is the Mystik Spiral socks, which include instructions for Megan Williams' OMG heel. I plan to knit these out of Gynx yarn, as well, in the Oh My Glob colorway (which to me just looks like LSU socks, with a little sparkle). Finally, my birthday's in a few months, so if I crank these two pair out, maybe I'll ask for Lara Neel's Sock Architecture book for that and proceed from there?I mentioned in my 2015 Goals post that I want to a) spin more, and b) participate in a knit-a-long (KAL). While not exactly a KAL, I found that the 1764 Shepherdess is encouraging people to spin at least 15 minutes a day and post the results on Instagram with #spin15in15. And there are prizes! So once I get back on the same continent as my wheel, maybe I can combine those two goals into one.Now, back to knitting!
