Here are the finished Black and White socks. Made these from JaWoll superwash yarn. Note to self: The improvised star toe that I did on these socks was not good. This was accomplished by dividing toe stitches equally on to four needles and then k2tog at the end of every needle every other round to 8 stitches. It made it way too pointy (like a fish nose) and I don't imagine these will be too comfy in a pair of shoes. I am chalking these up to a learning experience. They are pretty though!
The 'Easter socks'
Doesn't the colorway remind you of Easter Eggs? Made from Online supersock yarn - Tropic. I started each one at the same point in the color progression, as you can see the colors line up all the way to the toe. However, I used the 'bulls-eye' (afterthought) heel pattern and obvioiusly didn't remember to pay attention to the starting point in the yarn. So the heel for each sock is ... um... unique.
Last but not least:
The 'Booga bag' Made from Noro and the result of the class that I took at Ewe to You yarn shop. This was my first felted thing, and I think it turned out pretty well. It did get a little bit smaller than I anticipated but is still the perfect size to put a small project in (socks) and tote it with me. I really like the colors as well. I'm keeping this project for me!!
That's it for now. Everything else I have is a long way from being done (except the hourglass socks) and I don't have a lot of ambition right now. I started new socks last night with the interlacements yarn, but I don't even know what I am going to do with those.
NEWS FLASH!
Chris just called - he's in Sheridan - and he wants me to visit! You know what that means? I have an excuse to go through Lansing where Thread Bare Fiber Arts Studio lives. Hmmmmmmm..... I may have just gained some ambition.
