With a book for scale.


If you've been working on a difficult or long-term project, I highly recommend finishing it at your stitch and bitch. Everyone, even our waitress, was excited for me, which made the completion even better. Yay! It was so exciting to remove the needles at last, and see it all stretched out.

The blanket and the socks done within a week, I can hardly believe it. I scarcely worked on anything else for the last six months. I didn't really show you the socks, did I? I can't get over how well they fit. Here:

I'm waiting for Wendy to release the pattern for her Sunflower Socks ... I bookmarked Abrazo from Knitty last Fall, but I don't have the yarn for that, so it will have to wait a bit. Not that I have the yarn for the socks, either ... perhaps I should look at the yarn I do have, eh? I'm twin-sitting this Saturday, so I have to have something to knit (after they're in bed, of course, not much knitting with two toddlers running around). If need be, I can always cast on a hat...
