Lazy blogger

Posted on | August 25, 2006 | 1 Comment

I suppose that’s what I’ve been lately.  It’s not that I haven’t been knitting, I’m just not thrilled about anything I’m working on right now.  I finished the SWTC test knit, which I LOVED and learned so much from! (you tend to do that when you knit something a bazillion times)  I’m really happy with the finished product:

Blocking, and draped over a chair:

The color is truer in the first picture.  This was an excellent project for a beginning lace knitter, and I hope SWTC likes it too!  I plan to repeat this for a xmas gift or two.

I also finished the Never Ending Man Scarf, but it needs blocking, so no pics yet.  In mindless knitting, I’ve been working on this:

Karabella Rings from an old IK.  I’m knitting it in 100% bamboo, which will make it a lightweight sweater for our lightweight Southern winters.  I’m almost done with the third skein and will separate the stitches for the front and back this weekend. I’m not sure if I like it, or if the yarn is right for this pattern.  But it’s an easy knit (although BORING stockinette, around and around and around) and probably a good first sweater project.  

In other news, our spider caught herself a big one.

 

Sgt. Britty saw this and told me my two worlds had collided because I love both spiders and butterflies.  True, but she’s got to eat!

And I’m schlepping around with this on my foot:

I broke my pinky toe.  Where’s the handknit sock? you might ask.  That’s a very good question.  The only good thing about breaking my toe and having to wear this lovely, state-of-the-art, haute couture shoe/boot is that I can wear my single socks with it!  But they’re at home and I’m at work, so I will show them off tomorrow!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
