This week was another Spock Sock week. I didn't even make it to the heel flap. I have about an inch to go before that part starts. I can't wait!
In a weak moment, this week I believe, despite the fact I have many WIPs, I casted on for the Tiberius socks. I haven't made it past the cuff yet so I have a long way to go.
I haven't touched any other knitting related projects this week, which I guess is fine for now and will be placed on the next Year of Projects.
I am going on a trip in just over a week from now. We have a church conference in Omaha, Nebraska coming up. This is one of the few states I have never been in. And since this is a road trip with about 13 hours of driving each way, I need to pack a knitting bag. I've managed to narrow it down to the Spock Socks, the Anklets and the Shapely Boyfriend. I think that will be enough on the knitting front.
I'm also loading up my iPhone with podcasts and such to keep my ears entertained. I got the History of England, How Did This Get Made?, and the Sticks & Strings podcasts. Anyone have any additional suggestions?

Spocks Socks are looking great and can't wait to see more on the Tiberius. Enjoy your trip.
ReplyDeleteWell I do hope that I'll have 1 sock finished at the absolute least by the time I get back from the trip.
DeleteHave fun on the trip..with the hot weather..socks are the only thing to knit!
ReplyDeleteThat's the only thing I'm not looking forward, the hot weather. I feel like I'm already suffering while in Southern Ontario. I'm going to have to camp out by the air conditioner for the Midwest.
DeleteThe Spock socks are looking great, I love the pattern. And enjoy your trip, lot of good knitting time there!
ReplyDeleteThank-you! I do plan to spend quite a bit of time knitting in various air conditioned locals.
DeleteThe cables look awesome, would think those could be tough car projects..with the extra do dads needed..cable holder etc. I left one I really liked on a plane..was so irritated then I couldn't work on the project the rest of the trip. Travel safe and have fun. Apparently I'm a week behind. Tried to post what I thought was to be our last 2013 YOP and the thread is locked, with today being the end of the month I thought this was the end...not the beginning.
ReplyDeleteYOP 2013 Review
The Spock socks don't have any cables so I do t have to worry about losing a cable needle or anything. Hopefully for the Tiberius socks, it's only a 1x1 cable and I won't need any extra doodads.
