This was my first week in my new job (which I LOVE), and it was just half time, as I spent the other half in my old role to help them transition. There was so much new information, so many new tasks, that my brain sort of got tired. Every night I’d come home with grand plans to knit after dinner, and almost every night I’d lose steam after a few rows. I’m hoping that with a little time, things will balance out, but in the meantime, I just have a wee bit of sock progress to share.See that bit of brown there? Yep, that’s the progress made on this Monkey sock since I last shared it. I managed about five rows one evening this week. But it should grow more pretty soon because I’m almost done with this Madtosh Mapleridge sock:
This represents the bulk of my knitting this week. Last weekend I got the heel and gussets done, so this week I’ve been working on the foot during lunch breaks. Just an inch left and I’m ready to decrease for the toes! I’m saving this for next week’s lunch breaks, and this weekend I’ve started a new project. I received some yarn to review, along with a pattern, so of course I had to cast on for that immediately! Here’s a little black & white peek.
The pattern is simple so I’m hoping it goes quickly. It’s perfect TV and movie knitting, and I have several shows to catch up on this weekend. And books to catch up on, and chores to catch up on…weekends need to be longer than two days!
That’s great you love your new job and I always find it difficult to craft when I’m using my brain all day- too exhausted
Weekends TOTALLY need to be longer than 2 days. I still love those Madtosh socks! And I look forward to seeing the monkey sock grow. 🙂
Sometimes I think it would be worth doing four 10-hour days to get an extra day off…and then I think about actually working a 10-hour day and …maybe not.
What I want to do is work 9 hour days M-Th, and then get every other Friday off. (The Friday on would be an 8 hour day.) But… first I have to find an employer that’s okay with that.
Oh, that would be lovely! Good luck with that! haha
Your socks look great and your new project looks nice and squishy
