Happy July 4th!

So, as is usual for me, I have multiple projects happening. Here's the visual aspect to them all:

First, a new cast-on project for the Summer of Socks - the Spiral Eyelet Socks from Unicorn Books and Crafts site. This is Meilenweit Magico from Lana Grossa in color 2530. I picked it up a while ago for super sale in my LYS - apparently no one else liked the colors. Crazy! Love it. And - they fit. 64 stitches around on size 1 needles. Woot!
Of course - an update on the Waving Lace sock. Gettin' there - still sock #1! :)

Next up - the yarn I want to use next for SOS. Colinette JitterBug in color Jewel. I think these will be candidates for the same spiral pattern as above.

And last, but not least - reclaimed yarn! It was a lovely sweater, but - chunky yarn on a chunky girl does NOT look good. So! I think it will be made into multiple mittens after the SOS is over, and donated to my church's Clothes Closet. Good times!

Back from vacation!

And I have so much to share! Here we go!

First, the things I completed:

The Moda Dea Sassy Stripes baby sock. Well, they were socks, but then the airline lost my luggage, and when it was returned to me (at 12:37 a.m.), the zippers had been mangled, and the yarn-containing portion of my luggage had come open. So, sock #2 has been lost.


Next, the Embossed Leaves socks! Plus, the "Father-in-Law socks" in progress. Did that on the plane rides, much to the chagrin of the flight attendants.

Oh, yeah - guess who the socks fit perfectly. The BHE (Best Husband Ever).

And last, but not least, the NEW yarn! WOOHOO!

From L-R : The Great Adirondack Yarn Company's Silky Sock in colorway "High Desert", South West Trading Company's Tofutsies in dyelot 032107-126, and Mountain Colors' Bearfoot in colorway "Bitterroot Rainbow". I can't wait! Thank you C. and T. for taking me to the awesome yarn shop! They have some catching up to do around here.
