On this Valentine's Day, I thought I would take a minute to update how my month of Husband knitting is going. I have one project finished and another started, though it is going a lot slower than I had hoped. I completed a pair of socks (read about it on Ravelry here) this past weekend and was pleased that they fit (though I did measure his foot and everything, you never really know until they are on). They weren't a surprise or anything, but I was glad to get them done by Valentine's Day. I also started a reproduction of the Team USA 2010 Reindeer Olympic Hat for Husband this past weekend. It is mostly made out of stash yarn, so my major concern now is having enough yarn. Getting it done by the end of the month would also be nice.
It seems sort of sad that I set aside an entire month (albeit a shorter one) for knitting Husband projects but halfway through have only finished one. Normally I can do a pair of socks in roughly a week, so two weeks for these socks is well behind my average. My regular full-time job has been crazy lately, though, and my extra job of teaching has also taken a lot of time. It is amazing to me how a few extra hours of work every day can impact every other aspect of my life (like knitting and sleeping).
Right now I am planning on seeing how long the hat takes and going from there. I have gloves hibernating that might get pulled out too.
