Wednesday Workings

Since I finished the mittens, I decided to cast on another asymmetrical shawl.  This one is called Neato and I'm using my MadelineTosh DK in Cathedral.  Yum!

Here's the 19th pair of socks I'm working on. This is Desert Vista Dyeworks that mom bought me for Christmas.  Halloween in July? Yep!

And here's the completed mittens.  The pattern is LINDEN mitten by Jane Richmond. Next pair I'm taking out the increase on the outside edge.  It just looks weird to me.  Yes, it fits, but I'm still eliminating them.

And tonight, I decided I needed some shrimp creole.  A double batch all for me because Andrew won't eat it!  Yay!  I may freeze some, but I doubt it.

Blue thumbs

I managed to turn the second heel today--not yesterday like I wanted.  I needed a nap yesterday--as predicted.  So, today I worked on the Desert Vista Dyeworks sock and ended up with blue thumbs.  The dye rubbed off from the dark blue stripe.  With blue thumbs, there was no way I was going to touch my Burberry socks.

Once I got home where the good soap is, I worked up to the red stripe towards the toe.  Tomorrow, I should get to the toe on both.  I hope.  As for now, my eyes are tired and so am I.  Off to bed!

Socks 6 and 7.1 for 2014

Ah!  Socks!  Oh, how I love socks!

Here's my progress on this month's socks.  Turtlepurl's Trenchcoat is on top.  Loving the Burberry-esque stripes!  And Desert Vista Dyeworks DVD Logo stripes on the bottom. This one is prettier than I thought it was going to be. Love her yarn!  (I've labeled it sock 7.1 because I started knitting the shibui sock yarn first and didn't like it.)

Tomorrow, I'm hoping to get to the heels on both!
