OTN

I'm currently re-making a pair of socks that I've started about a zillion times now. I finally gave in and asked for some help from the knitters on the sock list and I have taken their advise and am making them with 64 sts. As soon as I get some batteries, I'll take a picture and post it. So much for making something I know will work out so I can get calm! I'm still looking for the website I stole the sock earring picture from. So far I haven't gotten into trouble for sharing it here :) Maybe this is my pennance for not starting the lacey socks for my mother yet.

Sock Earrings AAAHHHH!!!


My camera needs batteries so I won't be posting my own pictures today, I just needed to vent about the tiny sock earrings I'm experimenting with. There are some beautiful pictures of sock earrings out there, Dawn's are my personal favorite. I saved the picture above so I could try to use it as a guide, they are perfect in size and proportion. Now I can't find the website so I can post the link. I hope she doesn't get upset with me for stealing her picture, I'll keep looking for the link and add it when I find it. I have found a few patterns online, I even experimented with making up my own and I just can't seem to get it to look as good as Dawn's do. Yes, I am jealous and I've put them down for a little while, I get too frustrated when I'm unsuccessful at something so I need to make something I know I can do to get my chi all calmed down :)

UFO Out of the Cupboard



This is a blurry picture of the squares I received from the Millenium Afghan swap from 1999. Just in case someone was wondering what they were :) The yarn we all used was Red Heart Soft in Navy or White and/or Wool Ease Frosted White. I'll be getting more yarn to finish it.
