I've been in this weird mood lately where I don't like anything I knit. These guys are debate-able. I have a love affair with variegated yarn, but then when I transfer that love to socks, I get weird spirals that irritate me. I'm going to finish these socks--NO MATTER WHAT. And I will love them. I hope.
These are my Monkey Socks by Cookie A. I've gotten to that point where I like lacework in my socks. I guess the firefly socks broke me in. These guys are going faster than the ones above. Go figure. I'm on the 3rd repeat of the pattern. I should be at the heel tomorrow...
This is the Ripples shawl. It uses short rows and a yarn I just had to have. I'm on the fifth petal and I like the pattern. I'm questioning the choice of yarn, though. But I told myself very sternly this evening that I'm going to finish it in this yarn and if I don't like it, someone else will. And my reward for finishing it will be 2 skeins of madelinetosh sock yarn in Button Jar Blue so I can make it again.
Found this lovely craft on craftgawker....
....so I took 3 of my infinity scarves I had that never sold and I cut them into 6"x1" strips and got to work! It's going to look awesome in my craft room!!!!
