January Update of the Yo3s

So this is my first update for my Year of Threes Challenge I set myself. I have 3 main crafty hobbies (cross stitching, knitting, and English paper piecing) and I have chosen 3 current WIPs of each kind to focus on this year.

Here's how I did during the first 3 weeks of 2015:

Cross stitch -- nothing. Didn't touch anything.

English paper piecing -- nothing Didn't touch anything.

Knitting -- I love knitting. :)

The socks ....

The pi shawl ...

The hat ....

...

oops nothing on that one. Sorry.

Work and school don't leave me with much free time (or energy), and I find knitting is often the only thing I have the brain capacity to work on in the evenings.

Nothing wrong with knitting progress!!

1/6 of a pair of socks

I haven't made a ton of progress but the sock is growing (!!) and I am really enjoying knitting it.

I switched from dpns to 2 circular needles to 1 circular needle using magic loop and eventually came back to dpns. I find them the easiest to knit with and there isn't as much laddering on the sides. Knowing this is a good thing, cause I have an entire set of dpns. I'm glad they'll be useful in the future.

It looks like a sock!

I've made some progress on my very first sock ever ... and guess what! It actually looks like a sock. I'm so excited. :P

Love the grey, love the purple, and adore the pop of green. These socks should be done just in time for spring. LOL
