Waving Lace (oops) sock

So, I started my next pair of socks for , and I'm super proud! I'm working on size 0 needles! 0!!!! It's Claudia Hand Painted in Earth Dot. I appreciate the encouragement from Bridget on making these - I wasn't sure if I should try to tackle them! I did, however, have one significant brain fart, and I'm not ripping out to correct it, since I did it this way from the start. If you've ever wondered what the Waving Lace socks from 25 Favorite Socks would look like if you switch the ssk and the k2tog, here ya go:

First Summer of Sock(s)!

Tadaaa! I've worked all morning, and created a sock for my boss:
Here are the details:
Yarn: Sockotta by Plymouth (45% cotton, 40% superwash wool, 15% nylon)
Color: 508 Lot: 909
Pattern: "Starter Stockinette" from Knit Socks! 15 Cool Patterns for Toasty Feet by Betsy Lee McCarthy

Knitting furiously

So, here are the updates! We now have some completed Father-in-law Father's Day socks (which is why they look HUGE on me):










Since I finished that project, onward for some more de-stashing with some pedicure socks for the lady who did my pedicure at Sun Mountain Lodge during our trip to Washington.











And finally, you know you have a problem when that's not enough for one night, and you feel a need to dye yarn. With Kool-Aid. In Tropical Punch, Grape, and Pink Lemonade. Yum.

Felt-y Goodness - another project done!

So, a little while ago, I decided to give up all my fur yarns to a wonderful lady on Wake Freecycle . In return, she freecycled to me 4 gallon zippy bags FULL of needlepoint yarn. Well, I don't needlepoint with yarn, just embroidery floss. So... how to use up all that yarn? Felt a bag! It's huge. HUGE. Here's the pre-felting shot, along with what would be end-weaving-in hell:

And now for the post-felting shot, to protect my identity... :)

Nifty, huh? Very Knights of Ni. Now I just need to find some kick booty handles for it, and I can take it shopping with me! Interesting thing to note - some of the yarns didn't felt. Makes me wonder.... color remover?!
