I've been in a knitting rut for a while. I've been making lots of shawls and while they have turned out well and are very pretty, I'm just feeling kind of "meh" about them. I don't hate them. I don't love them. They just are.
My attention span is also less than that of a gnat these days. I need to feel some sense of accomplishment. Quickly. I have literally hundreds of sock patterns I want to knit and over 100 skeins of sock yarn (I know, just... I know). So why not do something crazy like casting on a new sock every week? Originally I was going to try to do 50 pairs in 50 weeks - but I don't think that is very realistic. I am capable of knitting a pair of socks in a week, I just don't know if I could keep up that pace for an entire year. Plus, I know I will be wanting to knit other things as well in this time frame - so one sock a week, that I think I can do.
Second sock syndrome? So what? Start another pair and eventually get back to the second sock after mixing things up a bit. Also, life is too short to knit stuff you don't like - so if it's not working, move on to something different. We shall see how this goes. Wish me luck.
