Teeny Socks

Seaming work on the Cropped Cardigan continues, but I’ve been taking breaks from it to work on some stash-busting projects. I’ve also been motivated to finally attach buttons to my Rock ‘n Weave socks from last year.

Sock Progress

During the past week, I finished the toes and insteps on the Color Blox Sox for 6Sox. I haven’t taken a real progress picture yet because it’s all stockinette. I did finish the heels last night, and they look great and fit very well, yay! I enjoyed this type of toe-up heel-flap-gusset construction. It seemed to go faster than the traditional cuff-down heel-flap-gussets (which always seem to take me forever). The Potluck Jewels (from my SP8, thanks!) I’m using for these socks look great knitted up.

I’m back!

We got back on Sunday, but I haven’t been able to post until now. I’m still feeling tired from a combination of the trip, work, and lack of allergy medicine. It was a good weekend, we looked at various properties, and I shopped at Bemidji Woolen Mills, Ben Franklin, and Pamida… Yes, I bought yarn or knitting notions at each store. The weather was chilly at first but improved over the weekend.

I finished one gusset on the Rock and Weave socks, and started the other. I also knit the same toe twice for the Color Blox Sox. I’ve also finished three inches of the front panels for the Cropped Cardigan. I’m happy with what I’ve accomplished, but I need to get back to the SYAC swap socks now.

I’ve got to clean around the house today and catch up on blogs and email, but I hope to take some pictures that I can post tomorrow.

I’m glad you all enjoyed the JD/PC cereal box photo! I just had to check out the flip-flops Renee referenced , so cool!

Who woulda thunk?

A couple weeks ago, I witnessed amazing sight at the grocery store. I really would never had expected to see this in my lifetime.

What happened to May?

Apologies for my absence, it certainly wasn’t planned. I’ve been having Internet connection problems, they finally peaked two weeks ago and nothing worked. Comcast had to come and fix it… they ended up giving me a new adapter, which works much better, yay! more »
