I have been trying to put more “go” in my life and get off my tush and walk. I work in the heart of downtown Topeka and therefore have access to lots of cool places to to walk. Today my Dad’s Christmas Socks and I took a walk to the Capital building.
The project bag that these socks live in is NOT acceptable for walk knitting. It kept twirling and twisting up the yarn so that I would have to stop and unspin my bag. The bag (not pictured) is a drawstring bag by 19 Stitches. And it’s a wonderful bag for holding a project, don’t get me wrong. It’s just not great for walking.
As for the sock, I’m almost to the place where I need to weigh the yarn ball to see if I am close to 50%. I need to make sure I leave enough yarn for a cuff and a heel on sock number one and enough yarn for a complete sock number two. But i’m struggling to remember to do this in the evening after the end of what have been very long days lately.
Happy Knitting!
Good for you, knitting and walking! I have a nice bag that doesn’t spin, also a drawstring bag but with a short, wide handle, so it hangs nicely from my arm when walking and knitting. Which I don’t do enough of!
Wow walking and knitting is beyond me, but that’s great you can multitask
I love, were are we going to walk to next with Dad’s socks…..HA
Good for you getting out and enjoying a walk and knit 🙂 Thanks for sharing your scenery with us!
