I'm Knitting for the 5K Still

This has been interesting.  I thought I knit a lot.  When I am under pressure it doesn't seem to add up to much.  I have finished my Patons Stretch Socks using the Plum colorway, but I made them too long before placing the Afterthought Heel.  They got washed and still not right, so I am actually in the process of ripping them back to get it right.  Since I did have them completed so it counts for the 5K Stash Dash with TheKnitGirllls.   I used 2 skeins, but not more than 1/2 for each sock. (240 yds estimated)

I have to figure out about my cuff being loose, I will go down a needle size for the rib and hope for the best.

My KnitGirlls Square Swap - BlueBonnet  out of Cascade 200 superwsh, demin colorway (52 yds)  I had fun putting this together.  I made the bag out of a placemat from Dollartree.

I made another Holden Shawlette by Mindy Wilkes using Patons Lace in the Mitas colorway. (490 yds) This one is much longer, since I continued in the pattern for more rows.  That was a bit adventurous of me, I just kept knitting and placing markers whenever I had a new set of repeats.  This time I  placed glass beads on the last 2 rows of YO pattern.  I didn't know to put them on during the YO row and had to go down a stitch each time to correct my error.  That took a lot of extra time.  I was grateful for the demonstration on using Superfloss from Oral-B, from TheKnitGirllls, it helped. I bound off a little tightly and hope it blocks out ok.  I had only 8 yds left from the 1 skein I bought, sigh.

So I have knitted 538.7 yds

                       240.0 yds
                         52.0yds

                       490.0 yds

                     1320.7 yds!

Now, that doesn't sound so bad.  I think I will give the Hemlock Ring another try.
