World knit in public day is coming up (with some events at libraries if you're keen) and if you want to take part or you just want a new knitting project, I have some suggestions.
First off a disclaimer, my knitting skills are pretty average. To date I have knitted a bright yellow jumper when I was a teenager (wore it a handful of times). I knitted my husband a hat which was enormous; I have yet to find a head big enough for this hat. I knitted 2 baby vests for my first born child. I unravelled the yellow jumper and re-knitted into a really cute hooded cardigan for my daughter when she was 2. That is it for competed projects, there are unfinished scarves, legwarmers, and mittens.
The most recent project I have a had on the go for at least 2 years is a pair of slippers. (I hate having cold feet.) What I really wanted to knit was a pair of socks but I feel that socks are for experts only, I am extremely envious of people who can knit socks. I love the look of homemade socks, but they look so complicated to knit with tiny needles, how do you do the heel bit? So on world knit in public day I am going to try and finish my slippers. The thing is these slippers are super easy to knit (a capable knitter could probably knit them in an afternoon). Hopefully I finish my slippers before the weather warms up too much.
Get knitting with these sock and slipper projects some for all abilities and keep your toes toasty this winter.
