Almost a Sock

 

I did get some knitting done yesterday and I'm almost done with my first Paraphernalia sock.  I've started the toe decreases but didn't quite get finished by bedtime last night.  Since yesterday was the halfway point of the month (and this is my September Knit Something of the Month project), I'm pretty much on track to have them finished on time.  I just counted up and I've only got one more pair of socks after this one for the year.  The October and December projects are shawls.  I've really had fun with this little monthly project plan and I fully intend to do it again next year.  I've mostly stuck with the original yarns and patterns that I set aside back in December of last year (which is surprising as often as I change my mind).  I think alternating types of projects (socks and shawls) has helped keep me interested.  As far as actually busting my stash, I'm not sure the sock yarn box is any lighter than it was a year ago, but I did pull out and use some things that had been in it for a while.
