Knitting Time-Out

I've had to take a little break from knitting this week, so I can get through finals. I've knit a few half-hearted rows on my socks (I'm to the toe of the second sock), but I am not going to attempt any kitchener stitch until I'm done with finals. So Friday looks to be a big knitting / Christmas blitz! Can't wait. Too bad I have to get through that lame final first. :(

getting closer to done! i just started the heel on the second sock, so i'm almost done. i paused yesterday to work on an ill-fated project which i have to frog until i get more wool. too bad all the yarn shops are closed today. :(

jerm's homemade socks

these were my first foray into sock knitting, completed 2 years ago. jerm still likes them and wears them around in winter with his shorts and t-shirt. i guess so long as his feet are warm the rest of him is warm!

i like the pink striping a lot, and believe it or not, jerm loves it too. he thinks they're awesome.

next project

I went yarn shopping with Trina this weekend and got some beautiful self-striping yarn. I've just started, and they are so pretty and fun to knit. I'll post when I get to a heel turn! The most exciting part of socks.

new scarf

i told you, i'd post a picture when i had a good hair day. well, it finally happened (i went to court this morning, so had to put extra time in). it looks really good with my green jacket! now i really need to make something more complex, since this isn't displaying my knitting skillz.

finished object!

I finished the scarf I was working on yesterday, I'll post a picture of it when I have a good hair day. Because I'm vain like that, and I think the scarf will look better properly modeled.

something close to finished

Yet another project I'm finishing up that I started over a year ago. The problem is that I completely stalled out on knitting when I started law school. Anywho, this is knit from the beautiful yarn that Mara gave me, plus some black cashmerino (super soft) for the stripes. I have a new green coat that will look lovely with it. Can't wait for it to be done and wearable -- it's so very soft. When done, I'll post a pic of it with the jacket, all bundled up.
