I finally picked up Sophie again, and although the body and leg appeared surprisingly quickly I seem to have lost momentum again. I think I’m putting off the picking up of stitches. It’s not that it’s hard to do, it’s just that I don’t particularly enjoy doing it! I’ve also been a little over zealous with the stuffing. I find it hard to know when to stop, which is very apparent by the stretched out stitches on the body and leg. Sadly I was too keen to bury the ends, so there’s not much I can do about it now! I might try steam blocking when (if!) I finish to see if that will even things out a little.
There’s also been very little sock progress as I’ve been distracted by spinning, but I’ve got some catching up to do with Sherlock so I’m anticipating a good chunk of knitting getting done whilst I enjoy that. Mindless stripes and t.v. are made for each other!

I love the colors on the socks! :) I have yet to do striped socks (that is, where I have to change the colors). . . Maybe someday!

Striped socks are fun! The only downfall is all those blasted ends to weave in afterwards!

Stuffing is hard to gauge, isn't it? Especially since it compresses over time, so you've got to stuff a bit extra. But how much extra? Ugh.
