Shaming myself into knitting faster, let's see if that works

I was on such a sock knitting THING last year and have really lost my mojo lately.

This second sock, I posted it two weeks ago maybe and since then all that’s happened is I made a mess of the gusset. Not enough to bother frogging it but definitely enough to be grumpy about it.

Anyway hopefully showing off my woeful level of progress will humiliate me into getting a wriggle on, because I really do love this yarn and it deserves to be a cool pair of socks!

catsdoingcatstuff,

You can do it!! That yarn is so cool. It will be worth it to finish and wear it around. :)

Thanks! Yes I’m going to take them on a road trip next weekend and I think that should force some good progress (if maybe not an actual finish, let’s not get too optimistic here). It’ll all be worth it in the end!

you’re actively improving your knitting skills,
I don’t really see any reason to shame that🍀

That’s true I suppose, these have a different construction to how I usually make socks so it’s all a learning experience in one way or the other.

Just wish one of things I’m learning didn’t have to be “knitting mojo can disappear alarmingly fast” 😅

“knitting mojo can disappear alarmingly fast”

yeaaa I know this feeling all too well although in programming rather than knitting :<
