Well, I'm back to knitting. I haven't really worked hard since I lost my knitting bag/supplies/socks I'd just finished in my move, but I have been slowly plugging away at a new pair of socks. I finally finished them:
Note the odd coloration on one of the toes. That's because I used only one ball to do both socks, and I ran out just at the toe. I'd normally fill in with more yarn, but that was in my old knitting bag. [Expression of frustration.]
Anyway, I had some yarn that was a little close, but it had some red mixed in, so it wasn't quite a match. The pictures, however, bring out far more of the red than seems to be there in real life:
Next up: a baby sweater for a friend of mine. Or more accurately, it's for her baby. It'll be black and will have my first attempt at a pattern: a skull and crossbones. Trust me, it's perfect for this gift.
