Blog? What blog?

So, it's been a while, oops.

Anyhow... why don't I just do a massive dump of everything I've finished since I last blogged (really, it's not that much) and then we can get on with the future!

So, my sister came over around Christmas and asked me to teach her how to knit.  So, I started her on a dishcloth, which means that I started a dishcloth at the same time.  This is one that I had knit a long time ago, and FINALLY got around to using... then decided that the pattern - though I hated making it - was amazing, as it makes a nice thick dish cloth.

I knit tight... oops

 The details

I also am a copy-cat as usual, and Jenn was making this awesome scarf for her mom and I just happened to find some similar yarn at the store, so I picked up some colours that I thought MY mom would like.  Lovely.  Easy.  Don't think I'd do it again.  The yarn is just kind of strange to work with, and man, garter stitch all the way is just plain boring.

I made two!  Pretty blues & browns + blues

And... I finished another one of those adorable cross-stitch ornaments.  Then I figured out that I wasn't going to pull off six by Christmas, so they got put on pause.

Even more adorable than the last two!

FINALLY, my wonderful husband got me the socks from the toe up book by Wendy Johnson.  OMG... I am in love.  I really like two at a time socks, it's great - but I still get lots of holes where I join the heel flap... this method is amazing and really cuts the hole out... it's fantastic... though I was a little off-put by the wrap and turn... what the heck is that?  You tube is my friend.  :)  So I made trilobite socks.  It has nothing to do with being a geologist, I swear. 

I used Kroy Sock yarn in "clover colors"

The toes are too pointy - oops, but you can't really tell...
