Every once in a while, I look at my surroundings and realize what a beautiful view I have.

My Beautiful View for Today

I’m still working on the Hitchhiker. But I’ve also got a few other things in my view today.

The slip-stitch afghan, a few pairs of CSM socks and of course, the Hitchhiker. A lovely and colorful view to behold and enjoy. I am always grateful to have such a lovely environment.

Current Knitting

The latest row of Hitchhiker had 192 stitches and it’s still growing

I will definitely miss this garment after I’m finished knitting it. I never tire of the luxurious feel of the yarn and the vibrant colorway.

I’ve also been back at the Circular Sock Machine (CSM) and getting a lot accomplished.

I was able to finish grafting the toe and weaving in ends on that top pair of socks. I also cranked out three more socks and finished them all. The Pink/Orange/Blue/Purple ones turned out so well. But I did make a mistake when I was turning the toe on those, so I just knit the toe by hand. It reminded me of why I don’t hand-knit parts of machine-cranked socks. It’s quite a pain (tiny needles, lots of tight stitches and the machine knits in the opposite direction that I hand-knit. I still love how they turned out.
