I ♥ socks!
Month: February 2008
second verse same as the first!
I knit up another Cabled Newsboy Cap from Stitch n Bitch Nation. I made one for D#1 a few weeks ago and since it only takes a skein and a half of the Blue Sky Hand Dyed Worsted, I bought another skein and knit up one for D#2. Waste not want not, I am a model of knitterly efficiency!
Here’s a little secret about the Daughters …. in person I think they look alike in the way the sisters often do. But in photographs I can hardly tell them apart!
A Vest!
It seems that towards the end of every project I become convinced that it will never end. That indeed, I will be knitting it forever. This vest was no different.
But finished it is and Boar loves it! I need a bit of time and distance before I love it — I will love it but for now I am just thrilled that it is finished. I may run a bit of elastic thread through the bottom since the ribbing isn’t snugging up at all. The jury is still out on that one.
In a stunning turn of events, I have not one but two finished things. The other however is top secret! I have given Cara a couple of clues ….. it is cotton, it is green and I had to count rows and I had to rip it out a bunch of times. ;)
monsters!
