Oh Yeah...I Have a Blog...

Alright...finished stuff...

Luna's Scarf!

Came out too wide and too short. Next time, I'll use thinner yarn and chain twice as long. Oh, and use wool, so it can be blocked. Because, really, acrylic won't, and the lace keeps spiralling.

I finished two pairs of plain socks, one navy, and another brown striped set seen below:


The pattern is so plain I've been getting away with knitting in school during ceratin classes, since its not even neccessary to look at the plain parts. It also produces the most comfortable socks :)  I have three pairs!

I made three washcloths, so I'll have something to swap at the April knitter's lunch thing. I think only one is really worthy of swap, though. I'll have to knit another one that actually looks right before the swap.






The garter stitch colorway is my favorite, but the decreases didn't end up matching the increases. :(

Ooo, cat blanket!


For the animal shelter around here. It could probably actually fit a small dog, but everyone ended uo just knitting cat blankets to keep the projects on the small side. I used some leftover Super Saver multi, and a light brown whose origins are unknown. It's probably an acrylic too, though.

I'm just about to graft the first of the second Slippery socks shut!


This colorway photographs horribly, but it's gorgeous in real life. Saki Rio Fantasy. Saki yarn can never seem to be unravelled correctly, though. I don't know if I'll buy it again. I blew $60 on two different colorways, and both skeins seemed like they were wound twisted and inside out. Took three hours apiece to untangle.

Lastly, these lacey socks were given to me as a gift. The organist at church belongs to a sock of the month club, and was a little behind. So, rather than try and keep up, she gave me a kit for my birthday during the winter :)  I had it started forever, but now I'm starting to cruise a little more.


Anyway, time for karate. Saturday conditioning class.
