socks

Oh yes, there was something else I meant to post yesterday in that blog entry but then got so distracted about talking about NYC that I failed to mention it... I actually finished a knitting project!

Believe it or not, I've actually been knitting! Yesterday, I finished doing the gusset decreases on the Dublin Bay Socks that I've been working on since... the middle of June.

I am seriously, the slowest knitter EVERER!

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.

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

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.

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.

A month or so ago, Deniasha held a contest where she gave away some really cute stitch markers and some sock yarn, which I won! I got the stuff in the mail this week. Thanks Deniasha!

The stitch makers.

Happy New Year, everyone! I rang in the new year with a lot of napping (haven't been feeling well) and finishing up the Jaywalker socks that I started way back in September. I made the socks using Spunky Eclectic's Tough Sock in Hot Rock. I'm thrilled with the way they look.
