I DID IT!! I'VE DONE IT!!

I KNITTED a PAIR OF SOCKS!!! YAY ME!!

ok, ok, so granted they are baby socks and very short, but they still included all the steps and came out oooooo CUTE!!

Neither picture came out anywhere close to the correct color. The yarn was just cheapo baby yarn in a pale blue-green.

I really wish blogger was as user-friendly and easily formatted as my other online journal

Pic

Here you go. My phone camera apparently isn't completely horrid.

Please ignore the paper plate in the corner there, I had just gotten done eating some pizza. (it was very yummy too!)

Inspiration and Execution

Or something. I'm kind of punchy. I have this button. I had these old jeans. I am making a purse/bag sort of thing. I want to learn to embroider. Well, see the pics, I guess.

Just a quick update

Haven't really done any significant work on any the projects I've posted about recently. I am about 40 percent done on a new project I cast on out of my Magic Loop Booklet. If you already have the booklet, it's the wristlets. I'm actually doing ok with this technique. I am starting to like it. I think it helps that this is also my first pair of Addi Turbo circular needles. I love how SMOOOOTH they are. They were expensive (at least for me), but I think they are worth it. Anyway, I've probably jinxed myself in getting this project done now that I've posted about it, but I will EVENTUALLY take some pics and show you how they're coming along.

WAHOOO

Got a set of size 50 needles for broomstick lace, a set of chenille tapestry needles for my current embroidery on jeans project and a set of ADDI TURBOS. and they are every bit as nice as I was hoping/had heard. The magic loop is going SO MUCH easier on them. they were totally worth the money and I might have to buy a new size every month when I get paid. Pics to come soon.

More Yarn!

Got some yarn at Big Lots, of all places. Will charge up the camera and take some pics of my pretties.

oh and the broomstick lace scarf is a few inches longer as well. :)

More Projects on Progress

This one is a scarf I'm doing to practice Broomstick Lace. I didn't have the right needle or "broomstick lace pin" so I sanded the handle of a paint roller and it seems to be doing just fine. And the yarn is just cheap acrylic, so it's ok if it snags a little.

This is an armwarmer I'm doing on the Medium red Knifty Knitter Loom. I've got one done and the next started with some fuzzy red bulky weight Lionbrand yarn from a kit.

Large squares to use up yarn and practice Tunisian Crochet. I'll probably just make a blanket or a bag or something out of the squares.

Triangle one of bikini Top. (No I don't wear bikinis and especially not of wool. It's a long story)










So anyway, that's everything I've got going on right now. I'll try to check back in a week or so to update on my progress. G'NITE!
