Hi there, Secret Pal! It was good hearing from you. Now I'll add my plea to others I've been reading this week. Please, please, please don't drop me like a hot potato (or more accurately, like my SP5 pal did) -- it really depresses a girl. But I'm totally sure you won't be like that.
Speaking of secret pals, here's some stitch markers from Sandra Strain (no blog, so I can't link to her)
and from a Stitch Marker Secret Pal in Nesconset, NY. Aren't the charm adorable? Especially the yarn and needles.
(Note: I've moved the camera away. Still not getting good pics of stitch markers. Must. Try. Harder.)
Amble v.2 fits Mr. Arches Higher than a Mickey D on the Empire State Building Observation Deck. Yes! Time to finish this baby and go on to sock #1, which will be reknit as sock #2.
Why is it that whenever I knit a Clapotis it turns into a rush job? First was my Clap, which needn't have been a rush job if I'd bothered paying attention when I read the pattern. Then the Middle Teen saw what I was knitting for her and wistfully stated, "If that were finished by the weekend, I could take it on our school trip to Zefat with me and show it to all my friends." So I knit like a fiend and -- whew -- had it blocking Thursday morning. (Pardon't the state of the Oldest Teen's floor. He is a teenaged boy, after all.)
Speaking of the Middle Teen, look what she made for the Oldest Teen:
It's the logo of the World Ju-Jitsu Federation; the Oldest Teen is a member of the Israeli branch.
The Sockotta socks? The ones stalled at 99% on my WIP list for about a month? Done. Why do I always put off Kitchenering? It's really not all that bad.
And since I cast off on one project, I had to cast on for another, the Alien Illusion Scarf from Stitch 'n Bitch. Made with a MC of black and a CC of glow-in-the-dark yarn from Caroline Homespun.
The only problem is the glow-in-the-dark yarn. Yarn? More like roving:
Unpsun fibers. What a joy to knit with. I sure hope the kid appreciates the scarf when it's done.
