  • Well, I finished a pair of socks that I might remember to take a photo of later.  And I started this.

    manlysock on dpns

    It's a manly sock for Christmas, on DPNs.  Apparently, it's been too long since I worked on DPNs.  At one point, I was going along, ding fine, and then, while watching a tv show I really get into, I tried to slide my stitches to the cable.  "What cable?"  I hear you ask.  The cable between the points of my circular needle, of course.  What circular needle?  Well, that's the problem.  I kind of just pulled the needle completely out of the stitches.  I did get them all picked backup, but I feel like such a dork.

  • Yesterday was the knitting guild meeting--and I was one of the hostesses.  And the other hostess had to work, so had given me her contribution Tuesday.  So...what to make/take that goes with no-bake cookies?  How about...lemonade, cherry/pomegranite juice, and a pineapple upside down cake?  So I started making the cake, the hubby took off with the short person, and I got some good knitting time in while waiting for things to get done.  It seemed to go ver fairly well at the meeting, too.  And the hubby has been working his way through the leftovers.

    Yesterday, I rounded up the kid and we made an excursion to the local Wal-Mart (and as we were pulling into the parking lot, he informed me that it was Wal-Mart, which is somewhat frightening since I hardly ever go there) and we picked up some stuff--big boy underwear, a couple of extra pairs of pajamas, and a big pack of socks (he grows too fast--I'm not knitting that many socks that he won't be able to wear next year) and resurrected the watch I'm wearing (it had a dead battery).  Sometime very soon, I'm going to work up the guts to start the potty training.....

    This is the yarn I wanted Noro Kureyon Sock to be.  The gorgeous gradual color shifts.  The soft squishiness.  The lack of vegetable matter in the yarn.  The lack of "thick and thin"-ness.

    This is Patons Kroy Socks FX, and it's half the price of Noro.  And just as gorgeous, in my opinion.  And much easier to work with.  Since these are manly socks for Christmas, I wasn't sure if I would have enough (OK--Noro has better yardage) I decided to make the heels and toes black.  It was a good decision, I think.  I finished up this sock yesterday, and while I might have had enough for the heel, I wouldn't have had enough for both, but now it looks intenional, because it was.

About Me

  • I'm currently a SAHM of an adorable little boy, the short person. I also have the hubby driving me crazy, and 3 cats that think it's fun to sit on my head while I'm trying to sleep. I play with all things fibery, so who knows what you might find on here?
