The way things are

I'm glad yall didn't think I was a nutcase for posting those weird things yesterday. I always get suckered into an online quiz. I just can't help myself.

But anyway, I got a new camera, so I've been taking lots o pictures lately. I don't have any finished projects, because (suprise!) I actually have work to get done these days. But I have had a little bit of time to do some knitting and I thought I'd show what I'm working on.


So here is how my socks are coming along. I love them! The yarn is so fun because I never know what color is going to pop up next. I did them in a 2x2 rib, so they are very nice a squishy and comfy. I keep trying the finished one on, but then my other foot always gets cold...


And this is my Honeymoon Cami, sans honeymoon. But anyway, the lace bottom part just isn't looking like the model one. I redid it 3 times. Either I just don't get it or something is wrong. I think it might be the yarn. I'm fine with the way it looks, though, so I am (obviously) forging ahead.

And my next project... Print-o-the-wave stole. I have been slightly obsessed with knitting impractical things lately (is it possible to be only slightly obsessed?). This is one of them. I will have no place to wear this shawl, but maybe I can hang it on the wall or something. That is, if I ever finish it. I have deemed it my summer/Bankhead project. So hopefully, but the end of summer it will be finished. I have wanted to try the lace thing for a while now. But first, I must tackle the task of winding the 1,300 yard hank into a ball. That alone could take me weeks.

Purple, Your Aura is Purple...

I couldn't resist...

Your Aura is Red

What Color Is Your Aura?

New finished project

Here is a picture of my first sweater and a hat to match. This was a gift for a good friend of mine having a baby next month. The sweater ended up being a little bigger than I wanted, but happily, babies grow! I learned how to do matress stitch with this project so it was well worth it. The pattern for the sweater was from Mason Dixon knitting and the hat pattern was from a workshop I took in October. Hope you both are doing well and that you have a smashing time next week at the beach....I'm expecting a lot of relaxation and knitting from you two! Also, don't forget the sunscreen. =)

Knitting again!

So I finally finished this felted bag I've been working on for my friend Sarah... Since Christmas. It actually felted really well with two washes in the coin operated ones in my building, and the bag is kind of hairy from the kind of yarn, Reynolds Lite-Lopi. I put one of the buttons on it that you gave to me for Christmas Jill, I think it looks really good!

And, we had a SNOW DAY today! The University shut down completely today at 2:30 because of the blizzard we've been getting for two days. The branches outside my window are so heavy, and it's supposed to keep up all night... I definitely had a snowball fight today, tomorrow's Friday, and Saturday I'm going cross-country skiing so at least I have a reason to like the snow now!
