My Pole Dance socks are in break until tomorrow night, where we will have a toe-down at knit night. I am geekily excited about that!
So in the meantime, I finished a bird nest, knitted an entire one, and started yet another. This is what I’ve done so far:
My plan is to knit nests until I’m out of this purple yarn, then I’ll felt them, and I’ll take a break from knitting nests.
I also decided that my Rose Tyler fingerless gloves had been neglected for far too long, so I picked them up again, only to discover that I had no clue what was going on. It took me about ten minutes to figure out where in the pattern I’d left off. This is a good lesson in WIP management! Don’t have so many projects that you neglect one so badly that you lose your place!
I had planned on tackling them once the socks were completed, anyway…. Which is why I hadn’t let myself wind yarn or swatch for new projects yet! Sometimes I can be sensible. 😉
What will you do worth those felted nests? Storage or for the kids to play with? Or you’ll fill them will amigurumi?
The nests will go to Wildcare up in San Rafael– they use them for baby birds who are rescued and need a nice, cozy place until they’re big enough to learn to fly and survive on their own! It’s a great charity knitting project, if you ever need one! http://www.wildcarebayarea.org/site/PageServer?pagename=babybirdnest_homepage
How cool!
