Frogging = basketcase

OK. This super fab silk yarn, I didn't realise how little two skeins was... something like 300 yds.
I started it in feather and fan pattern, but about halfway through the first ball, it was only like twelve inches long :( So it was frogged and made about half as wide. Its a modified basketweave. I'm calling it my Basket Case scarf.

Let's hope this is gonna work this time!

Edit: now I find this... how cool is that? I can't decide!!!

Okay so, remember this? My super decadent silk yarn jumped onto some needles tonight.

It turned out to be neither or those.

Seems that it wanted to be made into feather and fan scarf instead.

It also refuses to take a good pic tonight... maybe tomorrow if the sun comes out.
Quilt along blocks for the week... and a few of my faves. It is so fun and bright. I still think the navy and orange block might be my favorite so far.




The ONLY way I am able to keep up on the one a day.



Cut out a week's worth at a time.


Oh look. Yarn on sock needles again.
Clearly I have lost my mind.

Cause I don't have enough stuff started yet!


This made with these -------->

Check it out.

Second sock, in progress. Didn't I say something about not knitting socks anymore? Clearly that must have been someone else...

My goal is still to finish and mail them by the end of the weekend. Looks like I'm about half way through the top portion.


Meanwhile, the purple sweater keeps calling my name.

Enough blogging, there's knitting to do!

Darn it

Ta-Da! One finished sock. Sunday to Wednesday. Not to shabby!

Only one problem, on the heel turn, this side ended up with a rather large gap.

so a little darning, and voila - no more gap! And now, time to do it all over again... my goal is to have them done by next Sunday and in the mail on Monday.
