knitting

Moving this pattern to be available over here.

The Baby Monkey socks were based on Cookie A's Monkey socks... It more or less is the same pattern, just pretty much halved.

In honor of Matt's 29th birthday which is next weekend, we decided to upgrade our camera. We now are the proud owners of a Canon Rebel XTi... It takes pretty snazzy photos.

We also hosted the second NH Ubuntu LoCo meeting this weekend, which gave me lots of time to spend knitting and spinning. I completed a two socks, and spun up a single... and I also finished up somedigital scrapbook layouts on this weekend. Creative things abound!

I've been plugging away on three knitting projects as of late... Well... There's more than that on the needles, but these are the ones that have been getting the most attention lately. Yay mindless knitting!

First up, the Bellatrix socks.

In MadelineTosh Sock - Vintage Apron

I've finally turned the heel of the second sock! We're in the home stretch!

After something like four months, the LaLa Mittens, a pattern by the wonderful Gina is finally complete.

While I was waiting for my husband to come home from work so I could take him to the airport, I ended up caving and casting on the Feather and Fan scarf. Thus far it seems to be knitting up nicely...

The yarn is Malabrigo worsted in Curacao.

Knitting wise, I got a lot accomplished this weekend. I finished not one, but TWO pairs of socks that have been on the needles for over a year.

First, I finished the Elfine's Socks. I finally seemed to memorize the pattern... It only took until the final repeat of the second sock though. Sigh.

I just went back to check through my archives, but I'm surprised I never blogged about this. A few months ago, Gina ran a contest/KAL for her Amanda Hat pattern, and the lovely Amanda (namesake of the pattern) judged the photos sent in to see which ones she liked the best... and much to my surprise, I ended up being one of the winners.

Yet another milestone reached, the first sock of the Bellatrix pair is now complete.

Somewhere amidst probably one of the busiest work weeks I've had in quite some time, I managed to finish the Bubblewrap Socks, most of the foot flying off the needles this week in between waiting in the doctor's office while I was waiting on my husband, waiting for my voice lesson on Tuesday, and getting stuck for two hours at my husband's office while he troubleshot a problem.
