The moment I finished my monkeys I casted on a plain generic sock in some Jitterbug… however it bored me (after monkey I was itching for another lace fun thing). I have been wanting to try the Anastasia socks (from Pepperknit) and it is so cute. Just enough to break up the variegated… Summer of Socks is hitting me in a big way. CIMG0435

Today was a banner day for me I haven’t had a hair cut in like a year (literally) so I finally took the plunge and did it. This weekend is the sisters engagement party (pics to follow especially of the goldfish well you’ll see) Be back soon….

Mods: I knit them toe up cause well I hate the kitchener stitch. Subtracted one repeat in the leg and swapped heel for a short row. I love these socks they fit like a glove!!

monday

It has been god knows how long since I have posted and the only title I can come up with is Monday , seriously? I have had tons of things I could post about but then thought nahhh so I kinda let the old blog catch a little dust.
Clapotis (made of the yummy burgundy MALABRIGO ::drool:: ::drool: :) is so coming along just am finishing the increases (there is something about once I get to the straight knitting this baby is gonna fly ::snort: :)
There is an orange toe up sock (Trekking XXL) is flying. I am not sure how I feel about the yarn on my feet, but lemme tell you it knits and knits fast. The stripey goodness is totally addictive.
Cherry Tree Hill. I may need to write some poetry about you (if I was the poetry writing type that is). I am knitting the second of this pair and oh are they some happy GREEN socks.
The multicolored wording in this post is to illustrate a point. I joined project spectrum. I did so long before it started. I got excited thought of ideas. Heck I think I bought stuff just for this. We are now well into the second month of it and has there been any BLUE WHITE or GRAY on this blog… I think not!! (actually I know not) This situation must be remedied!! My answer to this… I’m working on it
