I’ve been meaning to try Helical knitting on a sock for a while now and when @chembarathi.bsky.social pointed me to a tutorial I couldn’t wait another day. Despite it being terribly addictive I made sure to also get stitches in on Carter’s 1st holiday sock too. #NightlyProgressReport #Knitting 🧶

No, this isn’t addictive at all…

Did two ridges on the temp shawl today so that’s the weekend sorted. Then finished the gusset decreases on the first red holiday sock. #NightlyProgressReport #Knitting 🧶

Not bad for a lazy Sunday. I was about 10 rows into the main color on the leg when I picked this up today. Finished the leg, did all the best bits, and am now on the gusset decreases. #NightlyProgressReport #Knitting 🧶

Just finished picking up the stitches. I’ve got two tails of the contrast color and the red part of the sock will be a continuous knit.

Did two rushes on the shawl so I’m all caught up again. Finished the foot of the second holiday sock. Tomorrow will be the toe and hopefully I’ll be starting the opposite pair before the day is over. #NightlyProgressReport #Knitting 🧶

Here’s the #2025TempShawl on my desk. It’s all scrunched up but you get the idea. Next year the color changes will make so much more sense and I’ll use 17 colors instead of just 10.

Finished the gusset decreases on the 2nd holiday sock. Yarn colors are Mojito and Dahlia from The Copper Sheep. As soon as I finish this pair I’m doing a reverse pair so Carter and Phaja will have “matching” holiday socks. #Knitting 🧶

Didn’t wear the compression supports today but I took it easy. Got three ridges done on the temp shawl and am caught up again. Then did a few rows on the current Christmas sock. #NightlyProgressReport #Knitting 🧶

Today was better, knitting wise. The brace at night seems to be helping. The jury is still out on the gloves during the day. I managed 3 ridges on the temp shawl, a couple rows with the porcupines, a couple on the autumn sock, and the best bits on the holiday sock. #NghtlyProgressReport #Knitting

Only got 1 ridge done on the shawl today. Should be doing 2 to get caught up but my thumb wasn’t having it and work was insane. Got a few rows in on the 2nd Autumn sock but didn’t take a pic. Decided to do 1 on DPNs to slow me down. It’s definitely doing that. #NightlyProgressReport #Knitting 🧶

Here’s the thumb support gloves I got. They’re helping with the wrists and lower thumb joint but stop just below the middle thumb joint (which is the bigger problem) so we’ll see how this goes. The splint seemed to help last night. Knitting during the day will be curtailed except for the temp shawl.
