Opal Petticoat


I'm skipping class right now because I didn't want to walk the mile and back in the rain and have to worry about my notebook getting wet and all the ink running and the wet pants legs. Oh and lets not forget about the cold!

So here are my Opal Petticoat socks that I finished. In the picture the second toe hadn't been kitchened but I was at my bf's house so that had to wait until I got home. In reality they are done. They have been for over a week, but I'm just now getting to blogging about it.

I didn't know until right now how different the heels look. I mean, my left foot is bigger than my right (for some reason around 9-10 it just swelled up, and hardly went back down...reason unknown) but come on. Oh well, I don't care really.

As you can see I had a lot of yarn left. I think I'm going to make a pair of socks for my cousin. She's 3 1/2.

I really like these socks and recieved a lot of compliments on them while knitting on them (because I KIP! YEAH).

I've realized that I would like to have 2 pairs of socks in the making at all times. One being a basic sock so I can knit while watching Grey's Anatomy and Adult Swim, and another one which needs more attention. I need more sock yarn-its seriously lacking. I'm sad. I need money.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I'll be going home for the day as I have to be a work at 7 am for the crazy mall shoppers. By the time I actually get traffic here it'll be after the weekend when the sock updates come out so I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving!

Old Projects

I realized that I didn't have pictures of some projects that I have completed recently so I took pictures of them when I took the ones of Widdershins. I'm going to try to remember to take weekly progress pictures (at least until I get a new USB cord) at my boy's house from now on. So I hope to get some tomorrow or this weekend.

Here is my Manos del Uraguay scarf. I LOVE IT! It took only one skein. So I have another one left at my disposal. 1x1 rib. I think U.S. size 10.5 Boyle straight needles. Pretty sure. Anyways it was inspired by the Purl Scarf in Last Minute Knitted Gifts...but I didn't add Rowan's Kidsilk Haze.
Here is a better picture of my Hedera socks that I finished awhile ago. I didn't realize before but now when I see this picture that there is some mistake on my right foot. It is bothering me to no end.
I had another picture to show you of a burgandy scarf I made (you can see the edge of it in the corner of the picture above) but I can't locate it.

Anyways, GREY'S ANATOMY comes on TONIGHT! YAY! I was knitting before class and a girl came up to me and asked me if I had seen it because of Meredith's knitting. Then she said she needs to be doing that. I said it would never work to keep me from guys! I love it but guys are cute.

Oh and for the record, I'm not diggin' Daylight Savings Time. Just sayin'.
