Since my baby was born a year ago, I've really been savoring my crafting time. So I'm not upset to have frogged and re-started two knitting projects in the past week. It also helps that I don't have a time deadline on these projects, so I can just enjoy the knitting process without rushing. The first project is this striped raglan sweater. It's a pullover version of
this cardigan that I made for my niece a few years ago, and my intention is for it to fit my son this coming winter. I've been really enjoying the knitting, and was very pleased with myself for learning a new technique for jogless stripes! Unfortunately, it was coming out way too big (which didn't actually bother me, it will fit at some point), and I ran out of the grey yarn before I finished the first sleeve. So I frogged it, and I've started knitting it again in a smaller size. So far, I'm enjoying it just as much the second time.
The second project is a pair of Skew Socks in KnitPicks Felici self-striping yarn. I started the toe, got several rounds in, and then noticed that I'd done the Turkish cast-on wrong. I have now ripped it out and restarted. I don't mind re-knitting this small bit of toe so that I'll have a nicer pair of socks when I'm done.
