Mindless Knitting

9/4/2008

Complicated patterns are fun.  No doubt about that.  I love working on an item and seeing something beautiful and timeless (i.e. time consuming  ) unfold.  For a while there all I wanted to knit was cables, lace, and bumpy textures.  After two lacy sweaters and a pair of complicated socks, though, I’ve once again come to enjoy what I call “mindless knitting”:  projects that require little thought.

The socks I’m working on right now are just that.  I was able to knit about one third of them while watching The Fellowship of the Ring.  I hardly had to look at my hands at all, I didn’t have to squint over a pattern chart, and I didn’t discover any mistakes when the movie finished!  It was glorious.    Easy projects are rewarding in their own special way.

Pattern:   Sock pattern from The Knitter’s Handy Book of Patterns, plus Priscilla’s Dream Socks pattern for the short-row heel and toe

Yarn:   Louet Gems – fingering weight – Baby Neptune
