I’ve had a couple of working weekends which means I didn’t get to work any more on my Grace cardigan or on my Sadhbh shawl so I’ve no updates on those from the last time I blogged as they are at the same point. What I do have to show you is socks!
First up is the toe-up version of the Wildflower Honey socks. I finished the second sock so the pair is now complete. This reminds me of why I enjoy knitting my socks concurrently.
Next up is the pair of Wildflower Honey socks I’m knitting for the KAL on instagram for these socks, #wildflowerKAL I’ve worked the first sock to the point of needing to do the heel turn and flap on it and I’m currently working through the gusset increases on the second one. These have been my go to project for waiting at appointments and while waiting on school pick ups, that is why so much progress got made on socks.
I’m finished now with working weekends for awhile as my deadlines have all been met so later today I’m going to be knitting on both my Grace cardigan and on my Sadhbh shawl.

Love both those pairs…I’ve been following the progress of Wildflower Honey ones on Instagram
Loving your socks. I love the color of the second pair. No more working weekends, young lady. lol
The socks look great!!! I’m going to attempt my first pair this month…just waiting on yarn. I’ll have to look up how to knit them concurrently, because I have heard whispers of that before, but never really knew what that meant!
Love both pairs of wildflower honey, your colour choices are gorgeous. Hope you got the rest of your weekend.
Love your socks…both are gorgeous!
Such pretty socks! You have such exquisite taste in colour combos!
Your Wildflower Honey socks are beautiful, Ruth. While I’ve never knit a pair of socks, I can imagine that knitting two concurrently is the only way to go. I know I’d never likely finish the second sock if I didn’t tackle them at the same time.
You are so productive, Ruth. I don’t know how you do with while managing your beautiful family.
