My very first KAL!
In other news, remember in the last post I said there was no way I'm frogging Sarcelle? I ended up ripping back a couple rows and then picking the stitches back up. It's all good ... EXCEPT that it's going VERY VERY slowly! It's now taking me about 35 minutes to do a 6 row repeat. At least I've got the pattern down.
Probably start swatching for the Deep V Argyle Vest tonight or tomorrow. I really need to get some work done around here. Been having a bit of personal problems lately, and that's affecting EVERYTHING. School, sleep, knitting, eating ... It's like, I'm hungry, but the smell and thought of food makes me want to throw up! Well, this started BEFORE the "personal problems" started, but it's been a like a week now. Maybe I should go to the doctor's.

What can you do with 1375 yd of laceweight yarn in 5 hours?

I can do this!
Pattern: Hedera from Knitty
Needle: Clover Bamboo DPN in US0 (2.25mm)
I got THREE packages of yummy yarniness today! One of them has been in the mail for like a month, and it took them an entire month to deliver it. What's up with that!?
From left to right:- 3 skeins of Classic Elite Lush in Thistle
- 1 skein of Ornaghi Filati Merino Oro in Grey Heather
- 2 balls of Dalegarn Tiur in Rose Pink

Is it IE 7 or is it just me?
I've been such a bad blogger, haven't posted anything in so long. No FO pics today. I had spent the entire day cleaning my room. It was a total disaster zone, but now it's all nice and tiday. Wonder how long that's going to say. I don't have much confidence in myself, needless to say. I finished my Hedera socks today! I'll take some pics and post them tomorrow or Monday.
I had ordered some books on Amazon and it was waiting for me when I came home on Friday. Here's what I got:
- Knitting on the Road: Sock Patterns for the Traveling Knitter by Nancy Bush
- Knitting Vintage Socks: New Twists on Classic Pattern also by Nancy Bush
- Socks, Socks, Socks: 70 Winning Patterns from the Knitter's Magazine Contest edited by Elaine Rowley
Do you see a pattern there? :P There are several patterns that I want to try out, but I need to get more sock yarn first. Since I just started knitting (again), I don't have much of a stash. In terms of sock yarn, only have 2 skeins of Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock mentioned in the last post. However, I do have 2 skeins of Socks that Rock coming in the mail. I've read such great raves on them I couldn't wait to try it out! I personally don't like wearing wool as I find them itchy and scratchy. I think I enjoy the process more than the final product. The Hedera socks were alright, but I have sweaty feet (I know I know, a bit too much info there) and not sure if wool is the best fibre for me. Does anybody have any good yarn suggestions for me?
And I want to thank those of you that commented on my first entry! It's nice to know that my ramblings are actually seen by people! Ha ha.
