She Knits!

Ta da!

Behold, completed blaze-orange Oriole Socklets! The next time I go deer hunting nude, I'm wearing these babies to keep me safe.

I've also been enjoying the Magical World of Lace.

Just 5 more repeats of Chart B (I'm done with 1), then it's on to Chart C and after that, Finished Lace! This isn't a very difficult pattern, thank goodness, but those 83-stitch rows seem to go pretty slowly. I feel like I should be zipping along, given the width of the scarf, but that fine yarn will get you every time. I'm still really enjoying it, though.

And I'm making a little progress on the socks I started earlier this week.

It's not that blurry in real life.

That's also not the yarn I bought at ReBelle the other day. When I got home and realized that I had the exact yarn the pattern called for (although in a different color), I was so tickled that I had to use it. It's not often I use the specified yarn for any particular pattern!

I'm a very silly girl.

Wow, she does knit! The vision of you deer hunting nude is, well, a little frightening. Don't do it.

I'm jealous of your lace. No casting on for me until the sweater parts are all done, I decided, because I'm afraid if I start the lace I won't stop and will have neither sweater nor lace scarf to take to The Clearing.

Cool sock toe. Can't wait to see more.

Are those adorable fabric-covered sock blockers I see?

Nope, Allison, those are ugly hard plastic placemat sock blockers! Good guess, though.
