July FO's

I actually have a FO to report. I finally finished the socks I've had
on the needles forever. The lone binding off row of sock #2 was on them
for about 2 weeks. I made myself pick it up to try the 3 needle bind
off thing. My hand didn't cooperate very well and I dropped and dropped
stitches. I should only knit when I want to knit.

I started another pair of socks, trying the toe up, short row method.
I'm using fixation. It is taking me a while to adjust to the
stretchiness of the yarn so for several rows, my stitches were much
tighter than I'm used to working with.

My next pair may be done on two circs....we'll see. I want to find out
what I like best.

Well... I DO have some things finished for July. I completed a scarf
for a friend that I'd started in June, I did a couple of dishcloths,
two pair of bootees and a pair of baby mittens. Not much for the month,
AND I'm still working on my Maple leaf socks - the first one. Should
have got that complete, but I'm working on the gusset. I WON'T list the
UFO's I still have to complete. At least THAT list IS shrinking - a
little, but it is shrinking. lol
