"Green" Update and Socks
Perhaps I should post more pictures of the crazy things my kids get into--I broke my comments record. Perhaps introduce a "Mess of the Week" picture. Heck I should post a picture of the kids rooms--tornado alley indeed. Thank you to ALL that commented--I feel loved.
The very next day Lorelei got into my lipstick and smeared it all over her face, chest and bathroom counter. Another bath--grin--even that second bath didn't quite get the remnants of the green dye off...but I think finally today--she's green free.
Since y'all seem to like messy Lorelei pics--here's another one--from the first time she really got into my lipstick. She is standing in front of the one foot square smear of lipstick that now permanently graces my bathroom wall.
This weekend was fun--I went to my knitting group at the library and I finished my SOCKS!!!! Okay just one sock...but the sock that never ends is DONE! Knitty vanity--from multiple angles.
Sock stats:
Needles: size 0 DPNS-first Bates 7 inches then Brittany 6 inches.
Yarn: Lorna's Laces Shepard's Sock-one hank in Somerset.
Pattern: My own using the Universal Toe Up pattern from Knitty with Judy's Magic Cast On. The lace pattern is Little Arrowhead from Barbara Walker's Second Treasury AND my own adaptation. I used the very stretchy bind off. Basically the main sock was a multiple of 4, I increased two stitches for the lace and increased two more stitches once I got to the k2, p2 ribbing.
Love my knee socks-I was a very good knitter and cast on for the next sock the very next day (I had finished at 12.30 am on Saturday).
I also have yet another secret project in the works--soon to be unveiled. I am really excited and also very very nervous, "Will any one care??". Stay tuned for details and a launch.
Today I am in a bit of a mood--sigh. The world outside my door seems a very very violent and uncontrollable place right now and add into that my messy house that refuses to stay clean and you got a FEP mood. I intend to knit myself through this mood. Pfft.
