2nd FO

Here are my finished Grape Nehi socks. I should call them my Blueberry Not-so Nehi socks.

Specifics:

Pattern: Grape Nehi socks
Yarn: Lorna's Laces Sheppard sock in Pond Blue, much more vibrant in real life.
Needles: Boyle dpns size 2
Modifications: They are obviously not knee highs. I also adapted the heel from widdershins (these are toe-up) I used Judy's Magic cast on and a sewn bind off.

These count as my January socks; I finished them January 27, 2007. Yes that was a Saturday night. And I stayed in and watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer on dvd and finished these socks.
I'm soo old.

These socks are great and make a pretty lace pattern. The four row repeat was easy to memorize as well. They remind me of Hederas for those reasons.

2 FOs!!!

But I'm only showing you one for now. I don't have a picture of my socks yet.

Pattern: 1x1 ribbed scarf
Yarn: Lamb's Pride Worsted in Jack's plum
Needles: Boyle interchangable circulars size 11
Started: Sunday January 21, 2007
Finished: Tuesday January 23, 2007

This was a super quick scarf because I held the yarn double.




In the picture you can see the other two wips I had going on at the time. The one on the right in the teal color is a pair of Broadmittens from Knitty. The blue blob in the back is the grape nehi socks that I have actually finished Saturday night. Here is a progress picture of the at the time this picture was taken.

The sock on the left only needed to be bound off while the sock on the right needed about 5 more repeats and then the ribbing left.
The yarn is Lorna's Laces Sheppard sock of course!

Stay tuned for the FO post about these and other current wips!

Btw, that's not my place, it's my artist bf's hence the paint splattered table and easel he made in the background...that sucker is 7 ft tall!!!

I'm over at wordpress now. I just finished my mom's scarf though. I havent decided if i'll still update here or not. More details and pictures to come! or a link to the new blog
