Knitting is my happy place. Seriously — hand me some yarn and needles, and I’m good for hours. I mostly knit hats for my brother (he swears he loves them… probably has 100 by now) and occasionally for my youngest son (who also “loves” them). I’m great at starting projects, not so much at finishing them — except for a pair of socks I made for my dad, which he allegedly loves. Dad, if you’re reading this, I love you to pieces… but you’re never getting another pair. I hated every single minute of making them. Never again. Right now, besides working on Find Your Fade by Andrea Mowry, I’m knitting the Half + Half Triangle Wrap by Purl Soho, and loving it. Of course, in true hot mess fashion, I got all the way to the end of the first triangle, started the second, realized I hadn’t read the finishing instructions for the first one, and had to frog the whole thing. There was no way I was picking up those stitches with the wrap & turns. So here I am, halfway through triangle one… again.
