Since I've mentioned them in more than a couple entries (posts?) lately, I shall present the completed Roommate's socks. I bruised my finger with these from pushing the needle through tight loops. But they're done and they fit and she likes them. I used Yarncakes brand in Cinnaberry on US 1 needles. Pattern is Dublin Bay from here.
I have lots of yarn left over, probably because she has tiny feet. I'll give her some in case I need to make any repairs down the line and put the rest in my stash for later. I may be able to get some baby socks or something out of the leftovers. Dunno. Or a doily or something.
Now all I have left is Kelley's socks. And some easy (read: garter stitch) baby blankets. I'm about halfway done one sock and I'm a few rows into a blanket. I'm moving right along. Then I need to find something to do with this laceweight yarn I just had to buy and now I don't know what to do with. I think this summer will be knitting lace experimentation time. My other goal this summer is to make sure I have a full set of cold weather gear made by me for me. So far I have a hat and scarf, although I don't want my clapotis to become my default winter scarf. It gets too pilly. I'm thinking of getting some more of the purple Andean Treasure from knitpicks and making a scarf and some gloves/mittens from that. Then I'll have a matching set. That would be cool.
I think I may de-stash a little. I've got some Kureyon I don't know what to do with and some Lamb's Pride in the same boat. I guess I'll try to get rid of it on ebay. Maybe also some of the acrylic I bought forever ago and never did anything with. I much prefer using wool and cotton and alpaca now. Silly acrylic.
