Knitting Jag

I've finally finished the pink socks. Here's a picture, although the second sock is exactly the same as the first (or at least it is if you've done your knitting in a reasonably competent way and not like a hamster with ADD) so it's not like you're seeing anything new.

Finished! Well, Sort of...

The first bright pink sock for Colleen is finally finished.

I don't have much to say today...

Garter Stitch Blues

Well, Gavin's hat is done. Just basic 2x2 rib, pattern from yarn harlot in her archives. Yarn is  alpaca.

Bored

I've made progress on Gavin's hat. It is plain 2x2 rib and I'm about halfway to the decreases. The pattern is from Yarn Harlot and is found in her archives, December 2005 I think. The yarn is alpaca, bought at Wakkerstroom Fibre Fair.

I started to get a bit bored doing row after row of 2x2 rib, so I did what anyone else in my position would do. I cast on another project.

I know what it looks like. I have swapped boring, dreary 2x2 rib for (drumroll please...) thrilling, fantastic 1x1 rib. This will eventually become a sock, hopefully to be joined by a second sock. Yarn is African Expressions Joy and 3.25 mm dpn's.

Finished Objects

Well, I've managed to finish another two twirl scarves. The blue is colour Stormy Sea and the pink is Rustic Romance.

I'm writing this having just finished nightshift, so don't be surprised if I'm tired and a bit weird.
