A Change of Goals and a Relocation

Yesterday I posted my sock-knitting time to my time tracker and realized that for THREE WEEKS I had no sock-knitting time at ALL. This has caused me to rethink my 10,000 hour goal.
Since with very few exceptions I knit a little every day, maybe I should track 10,000 hours of knitting in general, not only socks. Don't get me wrong; I love knitting socks, but socks are by no means the only thing I knit.

So, as of today, I will track all my knitting time, not only my sock knitting time. Also, I've moved my time tracker to my "Cricket Knits a Bit" blog, and will not be posting to this blog any longer. I'll leave it here, but won't be updating it after today.

Good luck, all you 10kH-ers, and come visit me at Cricket Knits a Bit!

A Bit 'o Sock Knitting

I've been so busy trying to get my Christmas knitting finished that I've been neglecting my sock knitting terribly!

Yesterday I had to attend a meeting out-of-town and was lucky enough to be a passenger instead of a driver. It was a little over an hour away, so I managed to get in a couple of hours of sock knitting time. *YAY!*

I already had two pairs of socks on needles, but was nearly to the heel on both of them. I didn't want to have to carry a pattern on the trip, so Monday evening I cast on yet another pair of "plain vanilla" socks using the yummy yarn I won in Pretty Knitty's contest back in August. They're striping up beautifully, and though I didn't get a LOT of knitting done on them, I'm happy that I had a comfortable little project to help pass the traveling time.
