More Socks

So after feeling a little, well odd I guess, i started another pair of socks. These socks are knit out of the left over yarn from that tesb i made an week ago. They are knit on size 0 needles, i have about 2 inches done on the first one. Since i have two sets of 0 dpns i decided that i should knit both of them at the same time, but there was only enough on the skien for one, so what do i do. I think way back and i remember winding a small ball of it when i first bought it so now i have enough yarn to knit both socks!

More Finished crap

I finished yet again another project, the socks on size 2 needles. It is a very bad thing when it no longer feels like a big thing when you finish some thing it feels just like a part of life.

So in the spirt of finishing being dull. I started a big old sweater that was in 20 mens patterns, the V-neck pullover with this tweedy wool that I picked up at jo-anns i got about half an inch of ribbing.

finally!!

So its done, its done, its done. as i speak it is wet bocking without pins. It is only now that i get an idea of why our great grandmothers all hated it when they had to go stand the sheep back up in the rain. This tesb is only 30% wool it wieghted ton when i hauled this tesb out of the tub. Why as this thing in the tub you ask? because it was the only place big enough to give it a good soak. i had to double it over in the spare room because i don't have the baseball field that is required to block that thing.

I needed some project to pick up and knit on so i decided to pick up a pair of socks that i started a few days ago. this is not the pair of socks that were knit on 00 needles and made out of flax and rayon. Theese are like good twin to thoose evil socks; they are made out of a divine combination of 50%superwash merino, 25% nylon and 25%bambooand are knit on size 2 circular needles. i don't know how much i like working on two cics better than dpns. While dpns are fiddly when you just start out they are nice when you have half a sock haning off of them. While two cics are are easier to start out with they get harder once you get miving with them the rest of the way .

slow deceases

That tesb is slowly decreasing down. I am down to about 150 stiches and considering all 300 that i started with it is moving right along. when i started this thing back in, this is sad i can't even remember when i started it, i remember i had intended that it would be a recangular shawl, but i realized that it would be a lot more work so i made it into a triangular shawl. i can recall that it was during Eastwick and it was the one where roxy's daughter's attemped rapist/boyfriend was fallowing roxy around calling her a whore. If any body remembers this please leave a comment with your information. Thank you!
