The kniitting goes on forever and the party never ends....

Alrighty, so it has been a while since I have blogged. A few things have changed and projects have been started and finished since the last time I blogged. Still no pictures as of yet, I keep procrastinating about this, but I know that sooner or later I will get around to it...cuz by lord knows I really am proud of some of the things I have knitted.

I guess I will just rattle off the current progress of my projects...whether they are on needles or not. I have finished the "market bag" I was working on, it has since been felted and turned in to the current project tote that I keep with me like a small security blanket o'knitting at all times. For some reason I feel better knowing that there is knitting within arms reach at all times.

Anyway, I digress. I am still working on the knee-highs for me. The soxx appeal socks that were originally for "the guy" (who is the guy no more) have since been renamed the Best Friend Socks...because who better to give a pair of hand knitted socks than my best friend (sister in another life) in the entire world, who is also a knitter. At least I know she will have a sense of appreciation for these socks and won't discount the hours of work I have put into these bad boys. Luckily for me, they fit her foot for the most part....this means no froggin' for me.

I think the most ironic part of these socks has to be the fact that as soon as I had knitted the last stitch on the first heel I have ever turned in my life, the jackass for whom they were originally intended broke up with me!!!!

Well, anyway....lesson learned.....NEXT!!!!

In the completed department, there would be a pair of Malabrigo Wrist Warmers based on the pattern for wrist warmers out the "Last Minute Knits" book. I modified them slightly to leave out the thumb hole and instead of doing 2 repeats of the patter below the wrist I did 3, along with a picot bind off for the top edging. I couldn't bring myself to waste a single inch of this yarn, I have so much love for this yarn it goes beyond description. Lord only knows what I am ever gonna do with the ball of "Paris Night" that is now sitting all alone in my stash.

I have also got a set of these wrist warmers in Noro Kureyon, one is off of the needles and the second one is just waiting anxiously for the bind off. Gonna get that done on Tuesday at Knit Night. I really do need to get pictures of these, simply for the fact that the color is positively WONDERFUL!!!

I could have sworn that I had finished more projects that this, but I guess I was wrong. I do have quite a few in the works though, other than the socks that are in various stages of finish.

Just today, I started a fan and feather shawl/wrap out of some King Tut Egyptian Cotton yarn that I have been trying to decide what to do with ever since I frogged it a few months back. Figure that is as good a yarn as any to turn into something for the summer with a pattern that I have never tried before.

Also, thought that working it in the cotton would be good practice for when the FOUR skeins of knitpicks lace weight yarn arrives sometime this week. I am fairly certain it won't take long before it is on the needles and in my grubby little hands.
